I agree that A is the right answer.

Thank you...

You're welcome.

You are correct that the boundary between Canada and the United States was set as a result of the Convention of 1818 (Option A). This treaty, which was signed between the United States and Great Britain, established the 49th parallel as the boundary between British North America (now Canada) and the United States from the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota to the Rocky Mountains.

The Louisiana Purchase (Option B) was a significant event that occurred in 1803 when the United States purchased a large territory from France, expanding its land holdings west of the Mississippi River. However, the establishment of the boundary between Canada and the United States was not directly related to this purchase.

The Missouri Compromise (Option C) was passed in 1820 and dealt with the issue of slavery in new territories. It admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a boundary line at 36°30' north latitude to determine which territories would be open to slavery. This compromise did not directly pertain to the boundary between Canada and the United States.

The Monroe Doctrine (Option D) was a policy that was proclaimed by President James Monroe in 1823, stating that European powers should not interfere in the affairs of the newly independent nations of Latin America. While this doctrine did impact U.S. foreign policy, it did not play a role in the establishment of the Canada-U.S. boundary.

Therefore, option A, the Convention of 1818, is the correct answer as it directly led to the establishment of the boundary between Canada and the United States.
