Answer:

The answer is A): gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A land rush happened in Oklahoma in the 1890s; thanks to the discovery of gold: around 1890, explorers of mineral deposits found evidence of considerable amounts of gold, copper and silver in the Wichita Mountains area, and up to 1895, a heightened gold rush was experienced in the region; this inevitably led to increased land rush in Oklahoma.
