Path Dependence

Which option correctly connects Path Dependence with New York State?

• The Adirondack region combines wilderness protection, private property, towns, tourism, and natural resources within one large landscape.
• New York simultaneously connects the Atlantic coast, Great Lakes, Canadian border, Appalachian-related terrain, and major river valleys.
• New York’s boundaries include land borders, international boundaries, lake and river boundaries, and a water boundary with Rhode Island.
• The Hudson-Mohawk corridor demonstrates geographic path dependence: later canals, railways, roads, cities, and industries followed a long-favored route.
