Answer 1

Government regulations

Answer 2

c. government regulations

Step-by-step explanation:

The railroads were slow to develop in Oklahoma because of government regulations.

Oklahoma was Indian Territory; the civilized tribes were given title to the land when they were removed from their homes by the federal government. Under the original treaties, no railroad could enter Indian Territory.

After the Civil war ended, Indians agreed to allow two railroads to be built through Indian Territory.
