The correct answer is:
B. by approving the Compromise of 1850 through the Georgia Platform and convincing other Southern states to do the same.
The Georgia Platform was a response to the Compromise of 1850 and aimed to gain support among Southern states for this compromise, which included measures that sought to address the issues between free and slave states. By endorsing this compromise, Georgia's government helped to temporarily ease tensions and delay the outbreak of the Civil War.
