b. They were led to believe he wouldn’t try to take any more territory in Europe.

Britain and France wanted to avoid another devastating war, public opinion favored peace, and their leaders (notably Chamberlain) believed that satisfying Hitler’s demands at Munich would prevent further expansion — hence the policy of appeasement.
