To determine the best explanation for the material presented in the table, let's start by understanding the data in the table.

The table presents information on the total value of property owned by Black residents in Washington during the 1830-1860 period. The table shows an increase in property values from $100,000 in 1830 to $400,000 in 1860.

Now, let's evaluate each of the options:

A) The total value of property owned by Black residents in Washington during the 1830-1860 period was similar to that in other cities during this period.
This option does not align with the data presented in the table. The table shows a significant increase in property values in Washington over time, suggesting that the value was not similar to other cities.

B) Rising standards of living allowed an increasing number of Black residents to own property during the 1830-1860 period.
This option could be a possible explanation for the increase in property values. If the standards of living improved during this period, it would make sense for more Black residents to own property.

C) Property values throughout Washington were higher in 1860 than they were in 1830.
This option directly aligns with the data presented in the table. The table shows an increase in property values from 1830 to 1860, supporting this statement.

D) Many Black property owners changed residences several times during the 1830-1860 period.
This option does not provide a clear explanation for the increase in property values. While Black property owners may have changed residences several times, it does not directly explain the increase in property values.

Based on the evaluation, the best explanation for the material presented in the table is:
C) Property values throughout Washington were higher in 1860 than they were in 1830.
