Respuesta :
The most likely reason why General William T. Sherman wanted to control the rail lines running through Atlanta, Georgia, during his "Atlanta Campaign" was because he wanted to “cut off the flow of supplies to the Confederate army.” so option C) is the correct one. Sherman was a Union general during the American civil war and he ordered to destroy the railways from Atlanta to Georgia in order to avoid that the Confederate army received iron and steel supplies which were essential for the troops. This practice of destroying railways was called “Sherman's neckties”.
