Answer: The correct answer is : A. Trade between states would increase.

Explanation: The Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of Gibbons, where interstate commerce would be regulated by Congress. But what was thought at the beginning was to develop a national network of steamboats led by a monopoly, because there was much potential in the navigation with this type of ships, competitors emerged that stated that the power of trade was the federal government. This is how the case of Thomas Gibbons - Aaron Ogden originated, where Gibbons was one of the competitors.
