B is the right option.

Explanation:

The idea that white Americans had divine rights for settling in entire North American continent was called as manifest destiny. This ideology inspired the various steps taken for removing and destroying the Native population. Before the civil war this idea was used to justify the acquisitions of Oregon Country, Texas and California. The term was coined by John L. O'Sullivan, who was the editor of magazine. He accidentally used the term which explained the national sentiment during nineteenth century.

explanation:

during the bear flag revolt, from june to july 1846, a small group of american settlers in california rebelled against the mexican government and proclaimed california an independent republic. the republic was short-lived because soon after the bear flag was raised, the u.s. military began occupying california, which went on to join the union in 1850. the bear flag became the official state flag in 1911.
