B.to try to buy New Orleans and West Florida from France

Explanation:

At one point, Napoleon renounced plans for an empire across the ocean, needed money to war with Britain, and of the 30,000 troops he sent to Santo Domingo in 1802 to suppress rebellion and reestablish slavery, many suffered from fever.
Thus, in April 1803, Napoleon's Foreign Minister suddenly asked Americans how much they would give for the whole of Louisiana.
