Answer:

The U.S. government contributed to the building of the transcontinental railroad by C) awarding loans and land grants to private companies to build the railroad.

So they could profit from them after the railroads were built and the lands developed. It was a very smart move from the U.S. government as it incentivized them to built the railroads get paid and develop settlements.
