Answer:

C. Colombia agreed to send drug traffickers to the United Sates for sentencing.

Explanation:

in the 1980s, the drug trade between Colombia and the United States grew exponentially, driven by the high demand of U.S. drug consumers, and by the cultivation of the coca plant, and the production of cocaine, by Colombian cartels, the most famous being the Medellin Cartel and the Cali Cartel.

In order to stop the drug trade, the U.S. and Colombia signed an agreement that allowed Colombia to send drug traffickers to the U.S. to be tried and sentenced in American territory, under U.S. Laws.
