B, and I know this because I submitted it to a credible site and it read correct.

The correct answer is B) Cattle had overgrazed the land in Texas.

The primary reason why such a large number of cattle were transferred to New Mexico was that cattle had overgrazed the land in Texas.

In the late 1800s, cattle brought from Texas increased the beef cattle population from 137,000 to 1,250,000 in New Mexico. By 1865, there were many thousands of cattle in Texas that overgrazed the land and had to be taken to the state of New Mexico to keep on living and being useful. Farmers in the South had to sell their products in the Northen states because demand was not high enough in the South.
