To what does the Dispensary Triangle refer?

  1. Financial district landmarks

  2. Transportation hubs

  3. Healthcare services for the poor

  4. Civic buildings and monuments

The correct answer is: Healthcare services for the poor

The Dispensary Triangle refers to an area in downtown Manhattan that was once known for its concentration of healthcare services for the poor. There are many other areas in the financial district known for their landmarks and civic buildings, such as Wall Street and Battery Park, but the Dispensary Triangle specifically refers to the healthcare services that were provided in this area. While transportation hubs can also be found in the financial district, they are not the main focus of the Dispensary Triangle. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
