Answer: B) Cornelius Vanderbilt and the $1 million endowment he gave to Vanderbilt University.

"Robber barons" were powerful businessmen of the 19th-century United States who made their fortunes through dubious practices. Some of these morally questionable strategies are monopolies, the formation of trusts, exploitation of workers, etc. Cornelius Vanderbilt is an example of this type of industrialist. Moreover, a donation to Vanderbilt University is likely to be seen by most people as a "philanthropic" or charitable act.

However one problem was how African Americans were treated they were sat in different train cars because of their skin color making a huge drift between whites and African Americans. Nature was affected because trees had to be removed to build the railroads and many forests suffered because of this. Not to mention the smoke from the trains which would pollute the air. Hope this helps.
