develop infrastructure.
fund new businesses.
regulate electricity.

Answer 1

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) primarily benefited the Tennessee Valley region by helping to **develop infrastructure** and **regulate electricity**. The TVA was established in the 1930s as part of the New Deal to improve the economic conditions of the Tennessee Valley, which was particularly affected by the Great Depression. It constructed dams and power plants, which provided electricity, controlled flooding, and improved navigation on the Tennessee River, thereby developing the region's infrastructure. While it may have indirectly contributed to funding new businesses by providing reliable electricity and improved living conditions, its primary focus was on infrastructure development and electrical regulation.
