请教一道语法题

sofi

The Mississippi riverboat, which evolved from simpler steamship of the early 1800’s,became the dominant form of passenger transport on Mississippi River.
正确选项:C,我选了D,请问 transportation和transport作名词使用上有什么不同吗?

redpassion

transport：
运输；运送
the transport of goods by air
空运货物
运输系统；交通工具
运输机；运输船

transportation:
流放，放逐；流放期
运输；输送


我觉得差不多的~~~
