Explanation

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American War and transferred a large territory from Mexico to the United States, known as the Mexican Cession. The United States agreed to pay Mexico $15 million for the territory, so A, C, and D are correct. Mexico did not pay the United States, and U.S. continental expansion continued with the Gadsden Purchase in 1853.
