The question asks about the economic effect that the Great Western Trail had on the development of Texas. Your answer is option B) The trail allowed for cattle to be sold in faraway markets.
To verify if your answer is correct, let's break down the other answer choices as well:
A) The trail helped cowboys find new jobs: This answer choice might be partially correct, as the trail provided employment opportunities for cowboys who were responsible for driving the cattle along the trail. However, this answer doesn't directly address the economic effect on the development of Texas.
C) The trail influenced the creation of barbed wire: This answer choice is incorrect because the development of barbed wire happened after the Great Western Trail and was a response to the challenges of open-range cattle drives.
Comparing these answer choices, it becomes evident that option B is the most appropriate. The Great Western Trail allowed for cattle to be sold in faraway markets, leading to economic growth and development in Texas.
