D: New infrastructure was built, leading to a thriving convention business.

Explanation:

One of the most sound legacies of the World's Fair on New Orleans was the construction of Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in 1985, which reopened later as a convention center. Besides, the construction of postmodern building has been remembered fondly by New Orleans.
