Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "Reasons for the Success of the Nebraska Land Rush": The chart includes factors beyond just Nebraska (e.g., gold in Colorado, Nevada, Dakotas), so this is too narrow.
• "Factors Contributing to the Settlement of the West": The items like safety valve for Northeast workers, gold discovery, railroad building, market for Northeast, Homestead Act, and advertising for Great Plains farming all relate to why people settled the West.
• "Conditions Leading to the Spread of Cholera": The chart has no content related to cholera, so this is irrelevant.
• "Sparks for the Second Industrial Revolution": The chart focuses on westward settlement, not industrial revolution sparks.

Answer:

B. Factors Contributing to the Settlement of the West
