because it is on the border
Answer is c bc it’s the one that makes the most sense
The Mason-Dixon Line<span> is the boundary between the states of </span>Maryland<span> and </span>Pennsylvania, but it came to represent more than that. It <span>designate the boundary between the northern "free" states and the southern "slave" states in </span>Civil War<span> times. </span>Charles Mason<span> and </span>Jeremiah Dixon<span> set out in 1765 to survey the land and settle a dispute </span>about land grants between Pennsylvania's Penn<span> family and Maryland's </span>Baltimores. The term Mason-Dixon Line was first used in congressional debates leading to the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which determined where slavery would be allowed as the United States expanded.<span>

The issue was states rights. slavery is not discussed in the constitution until the 13th amendement. since it wasn't in the constitution it was a decision that belonged to the states. if the balance of slave and free states isn't kept then the government was showing if favored one side over the other when they didn't officially have a position on the subject.
Your question refers to the table found in the document titled <em>'The Progress and Poverty in Industrial America', Page 2, Part A.</em>
In this document and the table within the document, we can understand how the 'Gross National Product' also refered to as 'GNP' was heavily increased, starting at $531 in 1970, and ending at $1299 in 1910.
This created a much better standard of living, and created new oportunities in American society. The average of comfort, leisure and refinement was raised.
I hope this helps you! Have a great week :)
