a. he sees it as fair.
b. he sees it as sacred.
c. he sees it as illegitimate.
d. he sees it as unfinished.

Explanation:

The passage uses terms like "spurious Delegation", "violation", "false and fraudulent representations" to describe the making of the treaty. These negative and illegal - sounding descriptions imply that Ross would view the treaty as not legally valid or illegitimate. Option A is wrong because the description shows unfairness. Option B is wrong as there's no indication of the treaty being sacred. Option D is wrong as the passage is about the legitimacy of the treaty's making, not its completeness.

Answer:

C. He sees it as illegitimate.
