Answer 2

Option: It was made up of independent fur trappers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rocky Mountain Fur Company was different from other fur-trading companies that served in the Pacific Northwest. The Rocky Mountain Fur Company was different from others as it did not have trading houses or forts.

Fur trappers had no home to settle as they lived freely in the woods as they were called mountain men. They caught their food and killed wild animals and led a lonely life. Some of the famous men were Jedediah Smith, the Sublettes, Robert Newell, Joe Meek, Jim Bridger, and Kit Carson. Every summer the mountain men, trappers and traders would gather at a meeting place to trade the pelts to the Rocky Mountain Fur Company.
