Railroads brought settlers to cities in the East, and crops and food to farms in the Great Plains.

C

Railroads brought settlers west, but did not bring anything east, so the relationship was not equal.

D

Railroads brought crops and food east, but did not bring anything west, so the relationship was not equal.

Railroads connected eastern cities with farms on the Great Plains in both directions. They carried settlers west to the Plains and transported crops and food east to city markets. Choice C describes this exchange; choices B and D incorrectly say the railroads carried nothing in one direction.
