The correct response is: **It allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while establishing a boundary line for the future expansion of slavery.**
The Missouri Compromise, enacted in 1820, aimed to maintain the balance between free and slave states in the U.S. Congress. It allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state and Maine as a free state, and it established the 36°30' parallel as the line north of which slavery would be prohibited in the remaining territories of the Louisiana Purchase. The compromise was an attempt to address the growing tensions over the expansion of slavery in the country.
