a student wrote the following thesis for their history research paper. because of the US civil war the texas cattle industry turned into a profitable nationwide industry which of the following statements best supports the arguement

a: overhunting in buffalo resulted into more indigenous people trading with ranchers to get cattle for food and other resources
b: the abundance in cattle existed in texas after the civil war and ranchers needed ways to find a way to sell it in northern cities
c:because sllavery was abolished after the civil war cash crops were no loner the most important good sold in the texas economy
d: a naval blockade of the texas coast and the mississippi river during the civil war resulted to more cattle being shipped to the frontier

b: The abundance of cattle existed in Texas after the Civil War, and ranchers needed ways to find a way to sell it in northern cities best supports the argument. This statement highlights the increase in cattle population in Texas and the necessity for ranchers to find new markets to sell their cattle, indicating the growth of the Texas cattle industry as a profitable nationwide industry. The other statements do not directly support the argument that the Texas cattle industry became profitable nationwide as a result of the US Civil War.
