Answer:

B is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The treaty of reciprocity between the United States of America and the Hawaiian Kingdom was a free trade treaty signed in 1975. It is also called the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875. The treaty gave free access of the US market to the Hawaiian kingdom. In return, the US received Pu'u Loa which is known as pearl Harbor today. After the treaty large investments were made by Americans in sugar plantations. The treaty was signed with King Kalakaua and members of Reciprocity commission.
