O B. They cost more to operate.
O C. They could carry fewer people.
O D. They could carry more goods.

D. They could carry more goods.

Explanation:

Steamboats played a vital role in opening the west and south to further settlement. They stimulated the agricultural economy of the west by providing better access to markets at a lower cost. Farmers quickly bought land near navigable rivers, because they could now easily ship their produce out. Steamboat River Transport. Steamboats proved a popular method of commercial and passenger transportation along the Mississippi River and other inland U.S. rivers in the 19th century. Their relative speed and ability to travel against the current reduced the time and expense of shipping. n the years before the Civil War, the steamboat replaced horse-drawn wagons as the most efficient way to transport goods and people throughout the United States. Steamboats made it possible to cheaply ship freight to the port of New Orleans from as far away as Pittsburgh and New York.

well, paralell is parallel. i am providing links to .

hope this !

a series circuit is one with all the loads in a row. there is only one path for the electricity to flow. if this circuit was a string of light bulbs, and one blew out, the remaining bulbs would turn off.

unlike in series circuits, a charge in a parallel circuit encounters a single voltage drop during its path through the external circuit. the current through a given branch can be predicted using the ohm's law equation and the voltage drop across the resistor and the resistance of the resistor.

a parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.
