Answer:

A) The US sent two representatives to buy the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the Louisiana Purchase is "The US sent two representatives to buy the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803."

Robert Livingston was the US Minister to France. President Jefferson ordered him to negotiate with France the Purchase of New Orleans. Negotiation went slow with French Charles Maurice de Talleyrand. That is why President Thomas Jefferson sent James Monroe to France to help Livingston with the negotiation. The negotiation ended when the United States accepted to pay France $11,250,000 for the Louisiana territory (828,000 square miles). The deal was done on May 2, 1830.
