He blocked an attempt to gerrymander districts and he disagreed with his political party on the use of capital punishment are two statements concerning Lee Cruce's tenure as governor of Oklahoma are true.

Option - B

Explanation:

Lee Cruce as governor of Oklahoma has faced stiff resistance for the reforms that he wanted to make. He studied law and moved to Oklahoma in 1891. He initially started his career in banking and finally he rose to the level of president of Ardmore National Bank.

He was the one who was instrumental in establishing the State Highway Department of Oklahoma. During his tenure as Governor of Oklahoma he never allowed the Capital punished and also refused any executions. He left the Democratic Party because he clashed with state legislature with policy matters and his interference in gerrymandering. Impeachment resolution was defeated against him by single vote he narrowly escaped the impeachment.
