territory to the united states.

a. louisiana purchase
b. land act

d. gadsden purchase

Explanation:

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) ended the Mexican - American War. Under its terms, Mexico ceded a large territory (present - day southwestern U.S. states like California, Nevada, Utah, etc.) to the United States. The Louisiana Purchase (A) was a U.S. acquisition from France. The Land Act (B) is a more general term (e.g., Homestead Act) not related to this Mexican - U.S. transfer. The Gadsden Purchase (D) was a later, smaller land acquisition from Mexico for a specific railway route.

Answer:

C. Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
