The correct statement from the options given regarding the Northwest Ordinance is:

a. Only territories with a population of at least 60,000 could apply to become states.

The Northwest Ordinance established a process for admitting new states from the Northwest Territory and stipulated that territories could apply for statehood once they reached a population of 60,000. The other options do not accurately reflect the laws or provisions of the Northwest Ordinance.
