Answer:

A. was enough territory for a railroad to the gulf of California

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gadsden Purchase came under a treaty signed between Mexico and the United States in 1853. The Gadsden Purchase provided the land required for a southern transcontinental railway. It also tried to resolve conflicts after the Mexican-American War. Through the construction of a railroad, it connected the Gulf of California.
