Why might government agency workers have felt torn between the interests of conservationists and businesses in the early years of the Gilded Age?
The federal government depended on donations from businesses, but the voters favored conservation efforts.
The federal government wanted to both develop the land and protect its natural beauty for future enjoyment.
The federal government tried to appease conservationists and businesses in its land use policies but was criticized from all sides.
The federal government cared more about dispensing public lands to avoid the expense of protecting them.
I have already tried C, "The federal government tried to appease conservationists and businesses in its land use policies but was criticized from all sides" which is wrong
