Trails going westward were incredibly difficult to include rivers to cross, mountain ranges, wild animals, disease, and lack of resources. The trails were rough and wagons needed to be careful to avoid breaking a wheel or losing an ox. Many travelers went in caravans to help provide protection and help when necessary. The most famous trail, the Oregon Trail, could take a wagon 6 months to reach Oregon from Independence, Missouri. The trails took many lives from accidents, disease, starvation, and other mishaps.

The correct answer is B.  It took a long time and included a number of difficult obstacles.

Explanation:

During the nineteenth century (the 1800s) the routes that most pioneers and immigrants crossed to go to the West in the U.S. were the Oregon, California and the Mormon Trail, all of these trails covered at least 2000 kilometers and were used by around 500,000 people from 1843 to 1869. These trails were not only long but crossing all of them was extremely difficult due to the risk of diseases, injuries, dehydration, and the weather and geographical condition the pioneers and immigrants that travel to the West had to face during the journey and that caused the death of some of them. This implies the traveling to the West during the mid-1800s took a long time, due to the long distances of the routes and also, including a number of difficult obstacles such as diseases, geographical conditions, and weather.
