Answer 1

Answer:

a. Buffalo to New York City.

Explanation:

The Erie Canal opened in 1825, joining the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Hudson River in New York. This water transportation route, which passes through New York reaching Buffalo, made it possible for navigation in this zone, developing a strong commercial and agricultural activity, accompanied by high levels of immigration.
