The correct answer is C. Louisiana.
In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in a transaction known as the Louisiana Purchase. This acquisition doubled the size of the U.S. and provided significant territory for westward expansion. The purchase included land that would eventually become part of 15 new states.
