30 point question here pls help

A

Explanation:

A. The Middle States led the nation in all categories related to manufacturing.

The Middle States led in manufacturing establishments (53,387) number of workers (546,243) and value of products ($802, 338,392). Therefore, they did lead the nation in every aspect of manufacturing, and this is a true statement.

B. The Southern States led the nation in manufacturing.

This is not true, because as stated above, the Middle States were the leaders in manufacturing for the nation.  

C. The New England states depended more on agriculture than on manufacturing

While this may be true, we cannot say this is the right answer. The question asks what we can draw from the information in the chart, which mentions nothing about agriculture.

So, the correct answer is A:  The Middle States led the nation in all categories related to manufacturing.
