The correct response is: **B It was an important source of power due to a change in elevation.**
The Fall Line in Georgia is significant historically because it marks the geological boundary between the upland region of the Piedmont and the coastal plain, characterized by a change in elevation that created waterfalls and rapids. These natural features were historically important for the establishment of mills and other industries, as they provided a source of hydropower.
