Answer:

A. It encouraged expansion by granting low-cost land to settlers

Explanation:

The Homestead Act of 1862 was an act that took effect on January 1863 which granted 160 acres of public land to anyone that paid a small fee and agreed to work on the land and improve it on 5 years.

This Act helped the westward expansion because many people moved west and were able to buy land for cheap prices and build a home and live from the land.
