    The answer is: C. Mexico refused to discuss the matter.

    U. S. president James K. Polk intended to purchase the Mexican states of California and New Mexico for thirty million dollars. Nevertheless, Mexico refused to receive diplomat John Slidell and consider his offer, which led to the Mexican-American war in 1846. Finally, the next year the armed conflict resulted in the U. S. control of New Mexico and California.
