acquired sq miles, double , brought the western border are related activities and one leads to the other.
In such a cas, "And" is not required.
Left with "D" and "C"
"acquired XXX miles" must modify Noun "US"
In D, Noun and its modifer are separated
Choos C
Other errors
A: which modifies "acre" ..It was not the acre that resulted in doubling but the "acquiring of acres"
B: "IT" is ambiguous
D: Noun and its modifier are separated as discussed above
E: "It" is ambiguous
C
