Question

B Transportation improvements such as canals led to more exports of perishable goods, which resulted in extending U.S. influence to Canada, Asia, and South America.

C Transportation improvements such as refrigerated cars allowed for crops to be shipped without spoilage, which fed the Forty-Niners during the Gold Rush.

D Transportation improvements such as the railroad led to lower prices and easier shipping, which allowed people to expand to the West Coast more easily.
