Answer:

the best and most correct answer among the choices provided is "cheap land" and "publicly financed roads"

Step-by-step explanation:

The settlers of the West favored a government policy that made land available on easy terms. As a farming area, the West required a market for its surplus products. The West wanted roads built and internal improvements made by the national government. The North and South were opposed to this idea. The North feared that if land was sold cheaply and on credit, and roads were built to open up the West, many of the factory workers would move to the West to try to improve their living conditions. If the workers were to leave the North, the factory machines would be without operators, and Northern industry would suffer. The South opposed the national government building roads in the West because the South thought the roads were unnecessary. The South traded with Europe, not with the West; therefore, the South did not want to pay any money for roads and other improvements that would not benefit the South.

Hope it helps, have a great day everyone! :)
