The correct answer is: **It connects cities that were established on the fall line.**
Interstate 95 runs along or near the fall line, which is the geographic boundary where rivers descend from the harder rocks of the uplands to the softer rocks of the coastal plain. Historically, this line often served as a location for cities due to the availability of water transportation and the establishment of early industries. As a result, I-95 connects many of these cities that were established along the fall line.
