C. The falling apart of the Democratic Party
D. The addition of Missouri to the nation as a free State

Answer 1

b. it was falling apart of the whig party

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) The falling apart of the Whig Party.

Letter A cannot be correct, as California was added as a free state thanks to the Compromise of 1850.

Letter C cannot be correct, as the Democratic party still exists today and has not left the public eye since the early part of the 19th century.

Letter D cannot be correct because Missouri entered the Union as a slave state thanks to the Missouri Compromise of 1820.

This shows that only letter B can be correct.
