Answer 1

C. French defeats in Haiti ruined Napoleon's plan to build an empire in America.

Napoleon decided that holding a empire outside Europe would be too costly, drain too much resources and spread his troops out too much. He decided to drop most of the colonies & sell the Louisiana to the US not only as to be able to have more money to fund his wars, but also to give the UK a rival for the future.
