The correct option is A

The Louisiana Purchase was a commercial transaction whereby Napoleon Bonaparte, then First French Consul, sold to the United States in 1803, 2 144 476 km² (529 911 680 acres) of French possessions in North America at a price of about 3 cents per acre (7 cents per ha); a total price of 15 million dollars or 80 million French francs. With interest, Louisiana's territory cost $ 23,213,568.

The purchase was important for the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, who faced some internal resistance to the purchase. Although there were doubts about the constitutionality of the acquisition of the territory, he decided to buy Louisiana because he did not like the idea that France and Spain had the power to block the access of American merchants to the port of New Orleans. This negotiation opened the access to the Pacific Ocean to the United States and dramatically increased its territory, making it one of the most important historical events in the history of the last two centuries.
