Solution

The correct option is A They could keep their slaves if they abandoned the Confederacy and rejoined the Union.
The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves who lived in states "in rebellion against the Union." It did not free the slaves in Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri, slaveholding states that had remained in the Union. The implication was clear: If any Confederate state rejoined the Union, it could continue to be a slaveholding state.
