Answer:

The correct answer is B. In the 1876 presidential election, Tilden won the popular vote, Hayes narrowly won the electoral vote, and votes in four states were disputed.

Explanation:

The presidential elections of 1876 were the most disputed and intense in the electoral history of the United States of America. Samuel J. Tilden of New York defeated the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes from Ohio, in the popular vote. Thus, Tilden would receive 184 electoral votes against 165 of Hayes, but 20 votes, that came from the states of Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, were not counted and were in dispute. Each party declared its voters as winners, but in Ohio a Democratic elector was dismissed from his position for holding a public office. Finally, Hayes assumed the presidency on March 4, 1877.
