Answer:

D) to create railroad networks that spanned the entire country

Explanation:

The main idea was to connect the country. At that moment, with the construction of the First Transcontinental Railway, it was possible to connect the coasts of the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean. For the first time in history, a railway network connected two sea coasts and, thus, the project is still a reference in the field of railway construction.
