Answer 2

"Funding for three transcontinental railroads was enacted in the Transcontinental Railroad Act. The Morrill Land Grant Act (1862) established agricultural and mechanical colleges by allotting each state that remained in the Union 30,000 Acres of land for each member of Congress. The National Bank Act of 1863 created a set of standards for the banking system."

In this quote we find that not only was funding enacted for railroads, but that it is true that a C occurred.

Answer 3

So the answer is D) because funding was actually increased.
