what was james polk a firm believer of?
greek mythology
manifest destiny
divine rights

Explanation:

James Polk was a firm believer in Manifest Destiny, which was the 19th - century doctrine that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable. This belief influenced his policies, including those related to the Mexican - American War. Greek Mythology is a set of stories from ancient Greece about gods, heroes, and the nature of the world, which has no direct connection to Polk's beliefs. The Divine Right was a political and religious doctrine in medieval and early modern Europe that kings derived their right to rule directly from God, which is not relevant to Polk's era and context.

Answer:

B. Manifest Destiny
