Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Louisiana Purchase was an agreement in which the United States purchased the Louisiana territory from France.

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase was a trade that, in 1803, doubled the US area of that moment. For $ 15 million, the United States purchased an area of 2,144,476 km² of France. In present value, the total amount corresponds to approx. $ 390 billion.

The area purchased was the so-called Louisiana Territory, which covered virtually the entire area between the Appalachians in the east and the Rocky Mountains in the west, and from the Canadian border in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south.

Today, all or part of the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Louisiana are in the area purchased from France, and make up 22.3 percent of the United States' current area.
