Explanation:

Travelers faced many difficulties along the Santa Fe Trail. The trail had a challenging 1400 km through arid plains, deserts and mountains.

The natural climate was and is continental; with very hot and dry summers, along with long and very raw winters. The general lack of rainfall makes fresh water scarce.

The lack of food and water also made the road very risky.  The climatic conditions, like the great storms, made the trip even more difficult.

The answer is: C. heavy rainstorms that washed away roads.
