Answer 2

The best answer is B. New Freedom.

President Woodrow Wilson secured the Democratic party's nomination in the 1912 election and ran on a new platform, coined the New Freedom. This strategy was used in hopes of defeating rival, Theodore Roosevelt who was another reformer candidate, to secure enough middle-class votes to win the Presidency. The New Freedom policies aimed to influence those who were part of the lower-working classes aspiring to reach middle-class stability through business opportunities and land-ownership.
