a. it admitted california as a free state.
b. it enacted a tougher fugitive slave law.
c. it kept slavery in the district of columbia.
d. it ended the slave trade within the united states.

The correct answer is C. The Compromise of 1850 did not keep slavery in the District of Columbia, but rather prohibited it.

Explanation:

The five points of the Compromise of 1850 were:

-Texas declined its claims against New Mexico, as well as its claims north of the Missouri Compromise line. They also maintained the Texas Panhandle region and the Federal Government took over their public debt.

-California was admitted as a free State with its current borders.

-The Southerners prevented the adoption of the Wilmot Proviso, which prohibited slavery in any territory acquired as a result of the Mexican-American War and thus in the new territories of Utah and New Mexico slavery was allowed by appealing to the principle of popular sovereignty.

-The slave trade was banned in the District of Columbia.

-A stricter Fugitive Slave Act was promulgated, which established that every black captured would be considered a fugitive slave if a white person claimed it as his own.
