Explanation:

Manifest Destiny is the 19th - century doctrine or belief that the expansion of the United States across the American continents was both justified and inevitable, specifically that God intended the U.S. territory to expand from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. The second option is incorrect as Manifest Destiny was about territorial expansion, not just becoming the largest empire. The third option is about the safety of settlers in numbers, which is related to westward migration safety, not Manifest Destiny. The fourth option is about American independence from Britain, while Manifest Destiny was about post - independence territorial expansion.

Answer:

A. The belief that God intended U.S. territory to expand from the Atlantic to Pacific Coast
