Answer:

D. The land was claimed by Texas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Result of the Adam-onis Treaty of 1819 between Spain and the US. Texas became independent of Spain in 1821 and Mexico in 1836. Texas was annexed by the US in 1945. Texas and the US vied for land ownership. Organic Act of 1890 awarded the area to Oklahoma Territory.

So Oklahoma got the land later through the Organic act basically.
