Answer 1

The best answer is B. These runs were too late in the year to allow crops to be planted and harvested.

Land Runs in 1891 and 1893 occurred in the spring, and while it was initially possible to plant crops, economic difficulties often arose due to the short growing season and climatic challenges, possibly leading to unsuccessful harvests. Other options do not accurately reflect the primary reasons for economic difficulties in those land runs.
