Answer:

D. President Nixon was impeached.

President Nixon did not get impeached. Before he could get kicked out of the office, he resigned, or quit. He was forced to release the tapes, and Nixon lost his remaining political support because he was caught doing illegal activity.

The Watergate Scandal in simple terms:

President Nixon was running for president a second time as a Republican. His opposing side was a Democrat. At the time, democrats and politicians were living at the Watergate hotel.

Nixon hired people to break into the Watergate hotel so that he could spy on the person running against him. Nixon thought this would help him win. The people he hired got caught, but they did not find out that Nixon was the one who hired them until a while later. Nixon won the election, but got found out.
