Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The American "frontier" was a meeting place of different cultures, including native peoples and European settlers. It was not characterized by anarchy or a complete lack of human habitation, and while it may have been a boundary of sorts, it was not a clear line between civilization and wilderness.
