Answer:

Disease helped European expansion into those areas

Explanation:

For example, disease like smallpox was a major contribution to European expansion in the Aztec and Incan empires.

The Aztecs and Incas had no natural immunity to the disease and were extremely vulnerable to it, so smallpox was able to demolish the populations.

The conquerors, Hernan and Cortes, were able to easily crush the populations that had already been weakened by disease.

This was also present in other areas in the Americas and the Pacific.

The transcontinental railroad made it much easier and faster to bring goods and people across the continental United States. This made shipping easier and cheaper, and commerce increased drastically (Answer is B). 

The railroad made many people, namely capitalists, incredibly rich, and very influential in government. Corruption naturally occurred, but it was not so huge as to have a net negative effect on commerce, since the gains brought by the railroad were so great.

The railroad did not make all trading posts disappear. Although some trade posts that were not located on or near the railroad may have become less relevant, a large number of trade posts thrived thanks to the traffic brought by the railroad.
