A.
The Land Ordinance of 1785 set up a standardized system (townships and sections) for surveying, selling, and distributing western lands to raise revenue and orderly allocate property (it also reserved land for schools). It was not about negotiating with the British (D) and while it affected settlement patterns, its primary purpose was distribution/sale (A is more accurate than B).
