The clause is really a state's rights clause. A state may not pass a law that makes something illegal that was legal before the law was passed. In other words if a state suddenly passed a law that said it is no longer legal to park your car in front of any government building, but it was legal to do so yesterday, the police cannot come to your door and issue a ticket for parking in front of a government building because you did it yesterday. 

The constitution actually uses the phrase ex post facto law in Article 1 Section 10 Clause 1.

Many European nations captured other territories in Africa. The Berlin Conference in 1885 helped the European powers in the colonization of Africa. The motive behind colonialism in Africa was the acquisition of resources. These include people, labour, minerals, and land. Europeans establish their colonies in the wilderness to get natural resource and rich minerals to prosper their nations.

Leno4ka [110]

"Peace with Honor" was uttered by U.S. President Richard M. Nixon on January 23, 1973 to describe the Paris Peace Accord that helped end the Vietnam War. The treaty specified that a ceasefire would take place four days later. It was stipulated there that the North Vietnamese would release all U.S. prisoners, and all U.S. troops would withdraw from South Vietnam.

So the closest answer is (A) An exchange of prisoners of war with North Vietnam.
