The correct answer is D. The Transcontinental Railroad was not built to prevent Western lands from settlement, but on the contrary, to encourage its settlement.

Explanation:

The Transcontinental Railroad was the first railroad to cross North America and was built between 1863 and 1869. The railroad was 3,069 km long, and stretched from Sacramento in the west to Omaha in the east.

The project was started by engineer Theodore Judah, who in 1861 traveled to Washington, D.C. to present his proposal for a Transcontinental railroad to the Senate and President Abraham Lincoln. The proposal was well received, and on July 1, 1862, the Pacific Railroad Act was passed which allowed the two companies to begin construction.

On May 10, 1869, the last gold nail was struck at the Promontory Summit just outside Ogden, Utah.
