How did railroads influence modern business practices?
by forming corporate boards
by resisting standardization
by issuing stocks and bonds
by creating reasonable scheduling expectations

Correct answer choice is :

The beginning of the railroads as a theory takes us back to 17th century England when rails were first laid down to overcome friction in moving heavily loaded trucks which would otherwise cut deep ruts. They named them gravity roads and they made their American appearance in 1764 for military goals at the Niagara portage in Lewistown New York, built by Captain John Montresor, a British engineer, and mapmaker.
