Respuesta :

The correct answer is B

Answer:

B) Democratic-Republicans and Federalists united to oppose France.

Explanation:

The XYZ Affair was a political confrontation that took place in 1797-1798. This incident resulted in an undeclared war that was known as the Quasi-War. The name came from the use of the letters XYZ to refer to the French diplomats Jean Conrad Hottinguer (X), Pierre Bellamy (Y), and Lucien Hauteval (Z). This affair caused the Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists to oppose France. Peace between the United States and France was restored through the Convention of 1800, also known as the Treaty of Mortefontaine.
