A joint commission in 1818 was unable to resolve the competing claims, and instead compromised by allowing for "joint occupancy" - despite attempts to settle the disputed territory "joint occupancy" lasted for over 25 years.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

"Joint Occupancy" was supported with "Treaty of 1818" which was established to resolve the standing boundary or complete occupancy conflict between United States and United Kingdom with due respect of fisheries, boundary and restoration of slaves between both the countries.

This "Joint occupancy" was settled for Oregon Country. Both of these nations agreed to coordinate in a boundary line for 10 years only but it took more than 25 years because the wave of U. S. immigration and movement during 1840 resulted into great effort for claiming the whole territory and many renegotiation took place.

Finally, the election in 1845 of United States focused to solve this issue therefore in 1846 the Oregon Treaty rigidly formulated the 49th parallel as partition to the Pacific Ocean between U. S. and British North America.
