The choices for this question and as follows:

California Gold Rush
Abolition of Slavery
Transcontinental Railroad

I think the correct answer is the last option. It is the Transcontinental Railroad that helped to further the Westward Expansion in the United States after 1865. Although, it wasn't officially completed, it began to reach further and further west beginning at this time.
