The answer is C: Texas became an independent republic in 1836 and part of the United States in 1845.

Explanation for each option:

(A) $1827 ; 1861$ - This is incorrect. Texas did not become an independent republic in 1827, nor did it join the United States in 1861. In fact, 1861 is the year Texas seceded from the Union to join the Confederacy during the Civil War.

(B) $1827 ; 1869$ - This is also incorrect. Texas was not an independent republic in 1827, and it did not join the United States in 1869. 1869 is the year Texas was readmitted to the Union after the Civil War.

(C) $1836 ; 1845$ - This is correct. Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836, becoming the Republic of Texas. It then joined the United States as the 28th state in 1845.

(D) $1845 ; 1876$ - This is incorrect. While Texas did join the United States in 1845, it was not an independent republic in 1845, and 1876 is not relevant to its statehood. 1876 is the year Texas adopted its current state constitution.
