The correct answer is B) The Wilmot Proviso was a document that called for a ban on slavery in any territories acquired from Mexico.

The Wilmot Proviso, introduced by Congressman David Wilmot, proposed to ban slavery in all the new territories acquired from Mexico after the Mexican- American War. This included modern day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, etc.
