How did the development of the Bessemer process affect the growth of cities?
A
It enabled the mass production of steel, which was used to build factories
B
It enabled the mass production of steel, which was used to build new universities
C
It led to the invention of electricity, which supported expanding factories
D
It led to the invention of the telegraph, which made business communication more efficient
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Bessemer process greatly reduced the cost of producing steel. Steel, which is lighter and stronger than iron, became an important material as America industrialized. It was used extensively in rails, bridges, and skyscrapers.

Detailed explanation-2: -How did the development of the Bessemer process affect the growth of cities? It enabled the mass production of steel, which was used to build new factories. raw materials and finished products were shipped quickly and cheaply.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Bessemer process made it possible to produce large quantities of steel. This allowed for the construction of modern city buildings and factories. It also allowed cities to be connected to other areas of the country through railroads.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Bessemer process allowed steel to be produced without fuel, using the impurities of the iron to create the necessary heat. This drastically reduced the costs of steel production, but raw materials with the required characteristics could be difficult to find.

Detailed explanation-5: -The end result was a means of mass-producing steel. The resultant volume of low-cost steel in Britain and the United States soon revolutionized building construction and provided steel to replace iron in railroad rails and many other uses.
