Answer:

C "Both Kansas and Nebraska would become slave states."

Step-by-step explanation:

Officially titled "An Act to Organize the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas," this act repealed the Missouri Compromise, which had outlawed slavery above the 36ยบ30' latitude in the Louisiana territories, and reopened the national struggle over slavery in the western territories.
