B is the correct answer. As more people began to settle, more homes and fences were built. Thus more obstacles for those performing a cattle drive. It would take much longer to go around the new barbed fences than through the land. Some fences might stretch for several miles, making a cattle drive a longer trip. This is one of the reasons cattle drives ultimately stopped. :D

B is the correct answer.
