Answer: B. lower interest rates

Step-by-step explanation:

A higher credit rating means that the person can be more trusted not to default on their payment. As a result, the person can be said to be less risky to borrow to.

This would lead to a lower interest rate because a significant portion of interest rate is based on risk. The risk that a person might not pay back a loan adds to the interest rate charged so if this risk is low, the interest rate will be low.
