Brief Explanations
In the 19th-century US beef industry, Chicago emerged as a central meatpacking hub. Cattle were driven or transported to Chicago, where processing facilities slaughtered cattle, processed the meat, and packed it for distribution to eastern markets via rail. Option A describes a transfer point, not Chicago's core role; option C refers to open-range feeding, not Chicago's function; option D misrepresents the city's role as it handled whole cattle, not pre-cut large meat portions.
