I NEED YOU HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Answer: I believe your answer is B
Explanation: back then they just invented the "steam engine" this helped a lot so people and goods could travel across lakes and seas. this was way more convenient :)
I hope this helps you out :)))
A is wrong because canals were needed for imports/exports.
B is right because it had become quicker and easier to trade and move goods
C is wrong because it really has nothing to do with the picture
D could possibly be an answer but it's not the best choice. The steam engines were used mainly to transport goods.
That means the answer is B.
Hope this helps!
