Answer:

A. Many thought it a waste of money and called it "Seward´s Folly".

Explanation:

The reaction to the purchase was mostly positive because many people believed that Alaska would serve as a base to expand American trade to Asia. Those against the purchase labeled it "Seward´s Folly" or "Seward´s Icebox" because they thought that the U.S. government had acquired useless land.
