Answer:

B. Plains farmers

Step-by-step explanation:

The Homestead act was an act signed by the president Lincoln and it was a big effort to encourage western migration by providing settlers 160 acres of land, the settlers had to grow the land, paid a small fee and had to complete 5 years of complete residence before they get ownership of the land.
