The question's possible answers here are misleading. It cannot, however, be d. The Republican Party did not exist in 1848-1850. It was founded in 1854.
Some Democrats favored Wilmot's proviso, some did not. Those who did eventually formed the Free Soil party, which was short-lived. The Wilmot proviso was never adopted. Whigs and mainstream Democrats just wanted to avoid the issue at that time.
