The most accurate response is: **It connects cities that were established on the fall line.**
Interstate 95 follows the fall line because many cities and settlements were historically established along this geographical feature, taking advantage of the water resources and the trade routes available along the fall line, which generally marks the boundary between the hard rock of the Piedmont and the softer sediments of the Coastal Plain. As a result, I-95 connects these historical urban centers.
