The answer is C. Pinckney's Treaty.
To arrive at this answer, you can start by eliminating the options that are not relevant.
A. Jay's Treaty: This treaty, signed in 1794, resolved several issues between the United States and Great Britain but did not address access to the Mississippi River or right of deposit in New Orleans.
B. Convention of 1800: This treaty, also known as the Treaty of Mortefontaine, was signed between the United States and France and ended the quasi-war between the two countries. It did not grant the United States unrestricted access to the Mississippi River or the right of deposit in New Orleans.
D. The Treaty of Paris: This treaty, signed in 1783, ended the American Revolutionary War and recognized the independence of the United States. However, it did not grant the United States unrestricted access to the Mississippi River or the right of deposit in New Orleans.
Now, we are left with option C. Pinckney's Treaty. Also known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo, it was signed between the United States and Spain in 1795. This treaty granted the United States unrestricted access to the Mississippi River and the right of deposit in New Orleans, which allowed American traders to store goods in New Orleans and transfer them to ocean-going vessels for export. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Pinckney's Treaty.
