Answer

Brief Explanations:

The popularity of steamboats led to increased water - based transportation needs. Building canals was a way to improve waterways for steamboat travel. Steamboats didn't directly affect rail travel or steam locomotives' popularity. And steamboats were mainly for inland waterways, not trans - Atlantic travel between US and Europe.
