The U.S. government contributed to the building of the transcontinental railroad by C) awarding loans and land grants to private companies to build the railroad.

Explanation:

All right, to understand this answer we have to remember how the U.S. government used the Pacific Railroad act. Ok, the smart government of the U.S. knew that railroads as privates companies were very profitable. Nevertheless, they required some stimuli. So, the U.S. government lan¡unched the Railroad act that gave land rights to the companies building the railroads as payment. So they could profit from them after the railroads were built and the lands developed. It was a very smart move from the U.S. government as it incentivized them to built the railroads get paid and develop settlements.
