President Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark on their expedition primarily for multiple reasons, but the most significant one was to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and seek a route to the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the best answer would be:
1. He wanted to find a route to the Pacific Ocean.
While the expedition also had implications for fur trading and claiming land, the primary goal was to chart a route to the Pacific and better understand the geography and resources of the region.
