A. Frequent rains caused rivers to flood.

Explanation:

Panama is a nation that has wet tropical atmosphere. This fundamentally implies the nation is warm all through the majority of the year, and furthermore has precipitation all through the majority of the year.  

Presently those are decent conditions for the nature, so animals and plants flourish there, however it isn't great at all for playing out a vast scale development venture. The steady rains were making the territory sloppy constantly, and as though that was not sufficiently awful, the waterways were flooding frequently, and the development must be halted, individuals cleared, and after the floods, tidy up the landscape again and proceed with the work.

Answering the question, a significant challenge in building the Panama Canal was the frequent rains that caused rivers to flood. The correct answer is A.

The United States faced some significant challenges during the construction of the Panama Canal. The problems faced by the United States during the construction can be categorized into there: engineering, organization, and sanitation.

They faced some engineering problems during the drilling across the continental divide. They also encountered some challenges when designing the canal locks and the construction of the gates.

Although, Americans used modern technology in 1904 when constructing the canal and the design overpowered flooding and digging problems.

Although the French government made an effort to construct the Panama Canal in 1882, but their effort was defeated by diseases such as yellow fever and malaria.  

The diseases caused the death of many people and most people were also hospitalized. Flooding was also one of the significant challenges that French faced at the time and due to the difficulties and lack of required technical skills, the French had to abandon the project entirely in 1893.

However, one of the things that contributed to American success in Panama was the appointment of a chief sanitary officer, whose role was to prevent malaria and yellow fever among workers during the construction
