Question

question 9 (multiple choice worth 5 points) (4.02r lc) what was one effect of the popularity of the automobile on the florida economy? the migration of african americans out of the state led to a decline in citrus production. the states population increased as people had easier access to the region. tourism declined as drivers quickly tired of heavy road traffic in the state. the state had a budget surplus from the increasing income tax revenue.

Explanation:

Automobile popularity in the early 20th century made Florida far more accessible to people across the U.S., allowing easier travel to the state for relocation and tourism. This accessibility directly drove a significant population increase, which boosted Florida's economy through increased demand for housing, services, and goods. The other options are incorrect: African American migration out of Florida was not linked to citrus decline from automobiles; tourism grew, not declined, due to car access; and Florida did not have a state income tax during this era, so no surplus from that source.

Answer:

B. The state's population increased as people had easier access to the region.
