Correct answer: new technology and a system of railroads.

Explanation: New technologies (steam power, Bessemer steel, electricity, telegraph) increased productivity and enabled mass production, while the expanding railroad network linked markets, lowered transportation costs, and stimulated industries like steel, coal, and manufacturing—together driving industrialization and economic growth during the Gilded Age.
