Explanation:

To determine the main achievement of Thomas Jefferson's administration:

• The abolition of slavery was not a main achievement of Jefferson's administration (and Jefferson himself owned slaves).
• The construction of the White House was started before Jefferson's presidency and continued during it, but it's not his most notable achievement.
• The signing of the Declaration of Independence was in 1776, and Jefferson was a key author, but this was before his presidency (he became president in 1801).
• The Louisiana Purchase in 1803, during Jefferson's presidency, doubled the size of the United States and is a major achievement of his administration.

Answer:

B. The purchase of the Louisiana Territory
