C. But the Oregon trail is usually called the Oregon/California trail these days.

c.Oregon

the answer is not oregon because i got it wrong on my test...

A overland " i just take the test , right answer A"

The correct answer is C. Oregon Trail.

To arrive at the answer, we can eliminate options B and D because the Kearny Trail and Cumberland Trail were not the routes taken by settlers traveling to Oregon and California.

To differentiate between options A and C, we need to determine which trail was used by the settlers to reach Oregon and California. To do this, we can consider historical context and the purpose of each trail. The Overland Trail (option A) was a general term used to describe various trails taken by pioneers to travel across the Western United States. On the other hand, the Oregon Trail (option C) was a specific route that was heavily used by pioneers to travel to the Oregon Territory in the 1840s and 1850s. Considering that Oregon and California were the destinations in question, it is evident that option C, the Oregon Trail, is the correct answer.

Therefore, the answer is C. Oregon Trail.
