Why is electricity distributed using extremely high voltages?

A) Higher voltages are easier to generate than lower voltages, so distributing them as a high voltage reduces equipment and saves money.
B) For safety because the insulation on the electrical distribution lines is not as effective at lower voltages.
C) High-voltage electricity travels faster than lower-voltage electricity and can get from one side of the country to the other in seconds.
D) To keep current as low as possible and reduce loss through the lines.
