Correct answer: the fourth option.

The Missouri Compromise (1820) drew an imaginary line at latitude 36°30′ across the Louisiana Territory and provided that, except for Missouri, slavery would be prohibited north of that line and permitted south of it — thereby establishing boundaries for future free and slave states.
