Answer:
C. Seward paid too much for the land.
Step-by-step explanation:
Many call the purchasing of Alaska, "Seward's Folly" because it was considered at the time that "Seward paid too much for the land."
This is because, at the time of purchase in the year 1867, the United States under the guidance of William Seward the United States Secretary of State bought the Alaska territory for a sum of $7.2million which was considered pricey at the time and thought to be of no use to the United States.
