D.the electoral college chose a new president

Answer:

A. the Vice President became the President

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, when the president of the republic mrre, or for some reason, needs to be removed or removed from the presidential office, the vice president should assume the mandate, becoming then the president of the republic. This practice started to be done in 1841, after the president-elect passed away before the end of his term, so that no other elections were held and the country was not left without a federal leader, it was decided that the vice president would take office. This practice has had good results and is used today and in many countries.
