Answer:

The right answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lure of getting free land or inexpensive lands plus government policies to encourage settlement and colonization, provided a powerful stimulus to migration to the West along the 19th century in the United States, both before and after the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848.
