B. The dispute over Texas.

Explanation:

The settlement of Texas by American colonists since the 1820s, the separatist aspirations of American settlers in the 1830s and 1840s, the Battle of Alamo, the proclamation of independence by Texas and an unsolved border dispute; all of these events contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican-American War in 1846.
