Answer:    D. railroads

The key reason for Atlanta’s population growth during the 1800s is railroads.  

Explanation:

In 1836 Georgia decided to construct railway lines to the south west and Atlanta was chosen as the location for the terminus. Then the town grew as a settlement.  

After some more years railway lines from four different directions arrived there and the town then grew to a rail hub for South US.  Rail industry growth was crucial in the emerging of Atlanta as an important city.

Atlanta was also a significant location during the civil war because it was a major distribution hub. It was bombed by union troops but Atlanta recovered after civil war with the rise of manufacturing industries.
