Answer:

D. Conquer any Indian tribes and move them to Indian Territory

Step-by-step explanation:

President Thomas Jefferson of the United States of America, instructed both Lewis and Clark to explore west of the Mississippi River. Also, during the expedition, Lewis and Clark traveled mainly on the Missouri River for the majority of their sojourn in which they traveled for about 8,000 miles. The expedition began on the 14th of May, 1804 till the 23rd of September, 1806; it lasted for two and a half years.

The city where Lewis and Clark began (started) their journey was St. Louis in Missouri and they also ended it in the city of St. Louis in Missouri.

Basically, Lewis was saddled with the responsibility of finding or discovering new animals and plants while Clark was responsible for making maps of the routes they followed.
