Answer:

B. It drew a line through western territories to determine future free and slave states

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise was a compromise orchestrated by the Congress that organized which states were slave free and which states were not. The state of Missouri requested in 1819 to become a slave state, this caused unbalance in the union because there would be more states with slaves than without them. With the Compromise, Maine was considered a free state, balancing the Union again.

The Compromise also drew a line across Louisiana Territory, creating a boundary between free and slave regions.
