he had no interaction with the child.
he completely ignored the child.
he sent the child away immediately.
he wanted to adopt john baptist and provide him with an education.

Explanation:

William Clark took a personal interest in Sacagawea's son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, during the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He later formally adopted him and arranged for his education, which reflected the expedition's cross-cultural and complex social ties between the expedition members and the Indigenous groups they interacted with. The other options are incorrect: Clark did interact with and care for the child, did not ignore him, and did not send him away immediately.

Answer:

He wanted to adopt John Baptist and provide him with an education.
