answer a,b,c or d

It would be hard to cite a development that has had more impact on American industry than the Bessemer process of making steel.It made possible the production of low-cost steel and established the foundation of the modern steel industry.In many ways it was responsible for the rapid industrialization of the United States that took place in the formative period of the late 1800s

The first Bessemer plant in the United States was built in Wyandotte,Michigan,in 1864, near the end of the Civil War.It was capable of producing only 2 tons of steel ingots at a

time.The ingots were rolled into rails-the first steel rails made in the United States Acceptance of the process was initially

slow.By 1870,the annual output of Bessemer steel was a mere

42 thousand tons.Production grew rapidly after about

1875,rising to 1.2 million tons in 1880,when it exceeded that of wrought iron for the first time

The rise of the U.S.steel industry in the last quarter of the nineteenth century was brought about largely by the demand for Bessemer steel rails for the nation’s burgeoning rail

network.Steel rails were far more durable than those made of iron.Spurred by this demand,the U.S.steel industry became the

largest in the world in 1886,when it surpassed that of Great Britain

The Bessemer process was the chief method of making steel until 1907,when it was overtaken by the open-hearth process.By the 1950s,the Bessemer process accounted for less than 3

percent of the total U.S.production
