Answer 2

The right answer is Lincoln signed the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 into law, which stimulated the construction of the railroad.

Here is a brief explanation:

Authorization for the construction of the railroad came through the Railroad Act of the Pacific, which occurred in the year 1862 with the support of the United States government.
