Answer:
The correct answer is D. Agricultural products from the West were transported to Buffalo, shipped across the Erie Canal to Albany, and then down the Hudson River to New York City.
Explanation:
The Hudson River mostly flows through the state of New York, but it also partially marks the border between New York and the state of New Jersey. The Hudson River got its name from Henry Hudson, an Englishman who, together with the Dutch, explored the river in 1609. However, the first European to see the river was Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524. In the 17th century several European colonies were founded around the river.
The source of the Hudson River is Henderson Lake in the Adirondack Mountains. At the city of Albany in New York state, it receives inflow from the Mohawk River and flows from it almost straight south until it opens into the Atlantic Ocean between the Manhattan district of New York City and New Jersey. Just before its outlet in the Atlantic, the name North River is sometimes used. The Erie Canal was opened on October 26, 1825, thus connecting the Hudson River with Lake Eries, and at the same time the cities of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.
