The correct option is A. All of the chart characteristics describe the Mississippi River.

The Mississippi is a long river in the center of the United States that flows south through ten states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana) until it drains into the Gulf of Mexico, near New Orleans. It has a length of 3734 km.

Agriculture and varied industries depend on the Mississippi. Although human beings have used it as a navigable way to move from one place to another and establish trade, it was from the arrival of the colonizers that it became an essential route for the shipment of coal, steel, oil and agricultural products.

Of all commercial products, cotton was the most important until the beginning of the 20th century, but agriculture in the soil of its basin continued to be a prominent economic activity. Other important crops have been rice, corn, peanuts, sugar cane, potatoes, hay and wheat.

How was Iberville able to find the mouth of the Mississippi River?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

After the Treaty of Rijswijk (1697) temporarily settled the dispute between the English and the French over Hudson Bay, Iberville was commissioned to fortify the mouth of the Mississippi in order to secure the claim made on Louisiana by René-Robert Cavelier, sieur de La Salle. In January 1699 Iberville explored the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, rediscovering the mouth of the Mississippi. Later he established a temporary fort, Fort Maurepas, on Biloxi Bay (now Ocean Springs, Miss.) and then sailed for France. The following year he returned and established a second fort, Fort La Boulaye, just below present-day New Orleans and in 1702 constructed a new post, Fort St. Louis, on the Mobile River. The success of these defense projects persuaded Louis XIV to begin colonizing Louisiana.
