Looks like you have selected A as the answer but the OA is C.

In A, it says "In the Lousiana Purchase of 1803, the United states acquired...". "In the Lousiana Purchase of 1803" modifies "the United States". Does it mean that "The united states in the lousiana purchase of 1803 acquired.."? The sentence really means that "With the help of the lousiana purchase of 1803, the united states acquired..". This is what is mentioned in C.

What about other options ? How you chuck them out ?
Is the use of 'it' in B and E is incorrect ?

Well, B and D are just too wordy. Too many commas in between unnecessarily. The flow of the sentence when you read is absolutely horrible.

E has a pronoun reference error. "..bought it... " What was bought? It does not have a clear antecedent.
