Answer: The correct answer is C- The Whigs publicized their candidate, William Henry Harrison, as a man of the people.

Explanation: His campaign called him a "man of the people" who would feel right at home in a simple log cabin; they used parades, barbecues and other forms of entertainment to reach ordinary voters.
