Answer:

C. 1910 – 1930

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Oklahoma Historical Society, as the Automobile Age progressed the number of cars and trucks went from 15,000 in 1914 to 127,000 in 1918 to 500,000 in 1926.

This fast growing required actions and they were taken in the state by constructing highways and roads from one state to the other and making improvements on the roads that already existed before then, this action would also help with the tourists that would go on roadtrips and would need to use highways and roads across the state.

Thus, Oklahoma begin to undertake significant road improvements between 1910-1930 as a response to the popularity of automobiles.
