The correct answer is B) to make train schedules simpler.

In 1883, the reason that led Congress to establish time zones in America was to make train schedules simpler.

On November 18, 1883, Railroads in the United States started to use standard times with four different time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. So every part of the country synchronized their clocks with this new system and train schedules became simpler.

However, time-zone became official in the United States until 1918, with the passage of the Standard Time Act.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

European exploration, exploration of regions of Earth for scientific, commercial, religious, military, and other purposes by Europeans, beginning about the 4th century BCE.

The motives that spur human beings to examine their environment are many. Strong among them are the satisfaction of curiosity, the pursuit of trade, the spread of religion, and the desire for security and political power. At different times and in different places, different motives are dominant. Sometimes one motive inspires the promoters of discovery, and another motive may inspire the individuals who carry out the search.
