D. New Mexico and Utah
Explanation: The Compromise of 1850 left the question of slavery up to the settlers (popular sovereignty) in the new territories of New Mexico and Utah. California was admitted as a free state, and Kansas–Nebraska (popular sovereignty for Kansas and Nebraska) was from the 1854 Kansas–Nebraska Act.
