The correct answer is A) They were more industrial, while Southerners were more agricultural.

The Northern states in the US did not have the climate or geography for long term sustained agriculture. This is why the North became more industrial, resulting in the creation of thousands of businesses that relied on unskilled labors to operate machinery.

The South, on the other hand, had the geography and climate to successfully farm numerous goods. This includes cotton, tobacco, rice, indigo, etc.
