A) problem: Houdini was poor and was tired of not having enough. solution: Houdini became famous to get fame, the love of women, and money.

Answer: C) Problem: Houdini did not like people being tricked out of their money. solution: Houdini faked a picture of Lincoln's "ghost" to expose the fraud

On the passage explaining how Houdini built his career, it is explained that he built it by creating original tricks and illusions. He created original illusions therefore he was not in cheap frauds and tricks that deceive people. The example use for that was the spirit photograph in which he tricked a photo into looking that he was being photograph next to Lincoln, exposing the fraud of the pictures.
