Answer.

Option C is correct.

The Louisiana Purchase (1803) was a land deal between the United States and France, in which the U.S. acquired approximately 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million.

History,

1. who had first control over louisiana:

France had just re-taken control of the Louisiana Territory. French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle first claimed the Louisiana Territory, which he named for King Louis XIV, during a 1682 canoe expedition down the Mississippi River.

2. What happened later on 1682 :

Spain secretly acquired the territory from France near the end of the Seven Years' War by the terms of the Treaty of Fontainebleau (1762). ... Louisiana was later and briefly retroceded back to France under the terms of the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso (1800) and the Treaty of Aranjuez (1801).

It is said that at that time France relinquished her North American colonies and England received all the lands east of the Mississippi River, except for the Isle of Orleans. The lands of the western Mississippi Valley were then given to Spain. Spain controlled the Louisiana colony from 1763 until it was returned to France in 1800.

3. What happened later on :

It is assumed that Spain governed the colony of Louisiana for nearly four decades, from 1763 through 1802, returning it to France for a few months until the Louisiana Purchase conveyed it to the United States in 1803.

4.why deal between US and French happened :

Their financial situation was in a wreck and Napoleon needed money for France.

It may ne because of Napoleon Sold the Louisiana territory to the U.S. in 1803, because he thought it too difficult to defend. He also needed the money. ... This was the war for American independence, ending in 1782. Once Napoleon had control of Spain, the Louisiana territory was transferred to France.

Also France had been fighting wars with England for hundreds of years and at the time it was coming away from another such fight. The French government was strapped for cash and America's offer of cash for land was too good to pass up.
