Answer 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Transportation was the most common use for canals in America. Canals were constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries primarily for the purpose of transporting goods and people before the advent of railroads and highways. They were used to connect waterways and create an efficient and reliable transportation network for trade and commerce. Some of the most famous canals in America include the Erie Canal, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the Illinois and Michigan Canal. While canals have also been used for irrigation and other purposes, transportation was the most significant and widespread use.
