Which is the most suitable relation between railways and economic nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Railways strengthened a common market by connecting goods and people
Railways reduced the time and cost involved in transporting people, raw materials and finished goods. By linking distant regions, they expanded markets and encouraged regular economic exchange across political boundaries. Such practical interdependence could support the idea of a common national economy and strengthen economic nationalism. A is therefore correct; B reverses the effect, while C and D have no valid connection with railway-driven market integration.
