Answer:

To obtain the raw material more quickly is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The industrial development in Europe to a large extent depended on the supply of raw material from these colonies. However, to obtain the raw material more quickly the colonists from Europe began constructing the railroads. Moreover, the development of the railroads was a cheaper mode of transportation.
