The correct option is A

The underground railway was a clandestine network organized in the nineteenth century in the United States and Canada to help African-American slaves escape from the southern plantations to free states or Canada. The name of "Underground Railroad" comes from the fact that its members used railway terms in a metaphorical way to refer to their activities.
