The correct answer is B) The Republican Party.

The Republican Party holds a philosophy known as American exceptionalism.

Historians believe that the term was first used by French Alexis de Tocqueville in 1830 when he spent some time in the United States. The term refers to how special the US is compared to other countries. It speaks about the "uniqueness" of the United States as the bearer of democracy and freedom. The term has been used recently by political candidates to highlight characteristics of the country.
