Which of the following best summarizes the System of railroads shown on the map?
A.
The majority of the railroads that connected the north to the south were built by 1850.
B.
The railroads established by 1860 each began, and ended at a major American city or port.
C.

The extent of the railroads in the south was very limited compared to that of The north.
I chose D lmk if it’s correct<3
You are correct again for this one choose D
okayyy
To determine which answer choice best summarizes the System of railroads shown on the map, we need to analyze the information provided and eliminate incorrect options.
Answer choice A states that the majority of the railroads that connected the north to the south were built by 1850. However, there is no information provided in the question about the chronological order or the number of railroads connecting the north and the south. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
Answer choice B states that the railroads established by 1860 each began and ended at a major American city or port. However, there is no information about the starting and ending points of the railroads on the map. So, we can eliminate this option as well.
Answer choice C states that the primary direction of the railroads built between 1850 and 1816 was north to south. Since this contradicts the question, which asks about the direction after 1860, we can eliminate this option.
Answer choice D states that the extent of the railroads in the south was very limited compared to that of the north. Without any specific information about the extent of the railroads on the map, it is difficult to determine if this statement is true or false. However, since this is the only remaining answer choice, we can conclude that it is the best option available, even without complete certainty.
Therefore, based on the information provided, answer choice D is the most reasonable option.
