Answer:

B. Camels were a potential solution to transportation problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the passage ''An Army Corps Like No Other'' by Tom Sentra we can see a description of an experiment with the camels and how successfully they were able to survive all the effort that people were putting on them.

  • Tom Sentra wrote about how they were able to survive more than horses and other animals but they were causing problems for other people and animals.

Excerpt from the passage: ''They failed to

become popular because they "smelled horrible, frightened horses, and were detested by handlers

accustomed to the more docile mules" (Robertson 9). ''

  • In this excerpt, we can see the reason why they were only a potential solution to transportation problems even if they were physically good to endure or the problems that people were causing during the transport missions.
