Answer:- c. They could transport many materials or goods at once.

The correct answer is ‘They could transport many materials or goods at once.’ Steam locomotives could transport many materials or goods at once, which significantly reduced the cost of moving commodities and raw materials while also saving time and space.

Steam locomotives were invented in the early 1800s and quickly became the primary mode of transportation for both people and goods. They were much faster and more efficient than horses or wagons, and they could carry much more weight. This made them ideal for transporting raw materials and finished goods from factories to markets.
