Answer:

The answer is A, The French sold their land to the colonies in America

Explanation: After the Revolutionary War was fought and won, as well as after the Constitution was drafted, the US had enforced peace in foreign relations and decided not to ally themselves to other nations or become enemies with any nations. However, this was hard to achieve since, past the American border, the French had made themselves at home. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson (the third president) decided to buy the land from France who, at the time, were themselves in a major revolution. This was the Louisiana Purchase, and the size of the US at the time was doubled overnight.
