Answer:
D. France was about to enter into war with Great Britain.
Explanation:
The French Revolution was a revolution that started on the 5th of May, 1789 and ended on the 9th of November, 1799 at the kingdom of France.
Basically, the revolution was centered around the decision made by the French citizens to redesign and restructure their political landscape and leadership styles and as such led to the abolishment of the feudal system (Ancien Regime) and absolute monarchy. Also, this revolution caused a lot of political turmoil and chaotic bloodbath leading to the death of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette in the month of January, 1793.
Consequently, Napoleon Bonaparte ascended to power by becoming the first consul in the month of November, 1799.
Hence, the reason why Napoleon was eager to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States at a reasonable price was because his country, France was about to enter into war with Great Britain and as such, Napoleon needed money for the war.
The purchase of the Louisiana Territory was made by President Thomas Jefferson of the United States of America and it was considered to be significant to them because it almost doubled the size of the United States of America.
