A. California Gold Rush
B. Abolition of Slavery
C. Transcontinental Railroad
D. Lewis and Clark Expedition
I think it's between B or D.
The correct answer is C, the Transcontinental Railroad. It greatly facilitated the movement of people, goods, and ideas across the west, making it easier for settlers to travel and develop new communities. The other options did contribute to westward expansion in various ways, but not as significantly as the railroad.
