Answer: B. U.S. manufacturing industries prospered as they worked to supply replacements for foreign goods.

Step-by-step explanation:

The War of 1812 saw the Americans go up against the British Empire once more as both nations kept provoking the other with acts that were definitely hostile.

The United States declared war on the British who responded by blocking American ports which meant that the Americans could no longer import goods from Europe.

American industries responded by then producing the goods they previously imported and as a result prospered.
