Answer:

C. to transport raw material for industry in Europe

Step-by-step explanation:

Europeans needed to take the raw materials from their locations inside the continent, to places such as ports where the raw materials would be loaded and sent to Europe.

So, they built roads, bridges, and railways in those areas but neglectes the rest.
