Answer ➤ B: The United States purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million.

Explanation: There was never a petition that involved Alaska becoming a US territory and Canada was never involved in this purchase. In 1867, the Treaty with Russia was an offering to the US from Russia to sell Alaska. In the end, the US purchased it for 7.2 million dollars and we now have the state Alaska as part of the country.
