The correct answer is B. Wilmot Proviso

It was named so because of David Wilmot who created it, and it was a proposed law that would ban slavery in all states acquired from Mexico. This was troublesome for southerners who wanted slavery and the proviso would increase the number of non-slave states drastically compared to before.
