Which is an example of how transportation influenced the first industrial revolution in the united states? a settlers traveled west quickly by using the trancontinental railroad. b different levels of pricing were offered to business passengers on trains. c trains and riverboats employed people from urban and rural backgrounds. d cotton was shipped by rail from south carolina to the textile mills in massachusetts.

D

Explanation:

The other answers discuss other effects of transportation, mainly in people's life. But D is the one that explicitly refers to the industrial revolution. Railroads streamlined the process of textile production and stimulated the growth of the industry and cotton production, allowing producers to save time.

The growth of the textile industry also meant that much more cotton was needed and faster than before. The machines to spin it also improved, but slavery became even more brutal than before because cotton was increasingly profitable.
