Answer 1

The correct answer is C

Answer 2

Answer:

C) by providing ownership of cattle

Explanation:

The open range refers to a practice that was common in the American West from the 1850s to the 1910s. In this system, cattle was left to roam free in a section of land, regardless of cattle or land ownership. This allowed cattle to graze freely in large sections of land that was undeveloped, unsettled and uncultivated. When the open range closed, the cattle industry benefitted, as this allowed more effective ownership and control of cattle.
