The correct answer is D. the Confederacy could no longer get supplies from its western states.
The Union's capture of Port Hudson, along with the surrender of Vicksburg, effectively gave the Union control over the Mississippi River. This division of the Confederacy disrupted supply lines and communication between the eastern and western Confederate states, making it significantly more difficult for the Confederacy to transport goods and troops across the region.
