Explanation:

Manifest Destiny was the 19th-century U.S. ideology that claimed the nation was destined to expand across North America. The annexation of Mexican territory (including lands from the Mexican-American War) directly reflects this territorial expansion goal. The other options focused on resolving slavery-related tensions rather than territorial expansion tied to Manifest Destiny.

Answer:

D. the annexation of Mexican territory
