The correct answer is D. Chattahoochee River

Explanations.

The Chattahoochee River is a river located in the Southern of the U.S. and is part of the border of three states: Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Because of this, te Chattachooche River plays an important role in all the three states not only because it crosses different cities but also due to the attempts to preserve the river and the use of water in it. This had led to different controversies and disputes between the three states in the last decades as each state claims ownership over the river and therefore its right to use this natural resource. Therefore, the one that is likely to be the source of this legal battle is Chattahoochee River, because due to its location Alabama, Georgia, and Florida claim ownership over the river.

nataly862011 [7]

Before 1920, women in America could not <u>VOTE</u>.

The first women's suffrage movement occurred in 1848, but it wasn't until 1920 that the 19th Amendment was ratified. The amendment gave women the right to vote in the United States of America. At first, there was strong opposition to it from U.S sectors (such as brewers and distillers) since they believed women would vote for the prohibition of alcoholic beverages and elimination of child labour.
