Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Between the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that the Erie Canal is a historic waterway in the northern United States, starting near Buffalo on Lake Erie to Albany on the Hudson River, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.

Although the canal was first proposed in 1807, it was not until 1817, commissioned by the 6th New York Governor, DeWitt Clinton, when the Niagara Canal Company began preparations for its construction. It was inaugurated in 1825 also by Governor Clinton. It contributed greatly to the settlement of the Midwest, allowing the transport of people and supplies.
