Explanation:

During the period after Reconstruction, the U.S. government used the Homestead Act (and similar policies) to encourage westward migration. The government gave away tracts of land to people who were willing to settle and develop the West. New houses and fancy wagons were not part of the government's incentive for westward movement; land was the key resource offered.

Answer:

B. tracks of land (assuming the option labels are A. new houses, B. tracks of land, C. fancy wagons; if labels differ, adjust but the correct content is "tracks of land")
