Explanation:

I think it B. It resulted in better management of public lands

Explanation:

Without fencing to keep cattle in, the bovines grazed freely competing for grass and water and destroying crops like wheat. Every year, cattle owners led their herds to slaughter houses unhindered by wire fencing. Barbed wire limited the open range and in turn limited the freedom of ranchers and cowboys.

Hope it helps if not sorry
