A is the answer. The first Bull Run was early in the war, and much of the North was convinced it would end quickly-people had even brought out chairs to watch the firefight. However, their visions were soon shattered.
B is wrong: the South had plenty of troops, and even if it did not, Bull Run was no indication.
C is wrong: Bull Run was a failure for the North, so it would not indicate to Lincoln that the North was overstocked on troops.
Similarly, D is wrong: the war actually would take longer.
The reason why journalists called the Alaska purchase of 1867 "Seward's folly" is because it was the idea of Senator William Seward to purchase the territory, and it was thought that this was a waste of money since it was so distant and seemingly uninhabitable.

They questioned why the United States would want a vast tundra of snow and ice distant from the continental borders.
The Treaty with Russia was allocated and confirmed by Secretary of State William Seward and Russian Minister to the United States Edouard de Stoeckl. Authorities of the deal to purchase Alaska called it "Seward's Folly” or “Seward's Icebox." Complaint to the purchase of Alaska receded with the Klondike Gold Strike in 1896.
