The correct answer is "D".

The Wilderness Road is one main road that settlers used to reach Kentucky from the eastern part of the country during the early 19th century. It was also known as "Cumberland Road". This was one of two routes that connected people to the west.

The other road, which was located up north and connected Pennsylvania to the Ohio Valley was ultimately selected to be developed as the "National Road".
