Letters of marque and reprisal were official documents issued by a government that authorized private individuals (privateers) to seize or attack enemy ships and property during wartime, essentially acting as state-sanctioned pirates to disrupt enemy commerce. The other options are incorrect: they did not recruit soldiers, declare war, or authorize peace treaties.
