The answer is A, just checked

Answer 2

A.)Russia did not believe the territory was worth continuing to own.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alaska was far away from the continental mainland, and was hard to defend, they didn´t have many natural resources and was not wprth keeping, this all add up to the fact that they believed that the United States would eventually invade the territory, so they´d just sell it and gain some money out of it.
