Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edwin Denby and Albert Fall, is the right answer.

The Teapot Dome scandal was a bribery aspersion comprising the government of Warren G. Harding, the then U.S.President. Albert Bacon Fall, the then Secretary of the Interior chartered Navy petroleum supplies at Teapot Dome and 2 places in California, to individual oil corporations at cheap prices without competing bidding. The contracts were the topic of a critical inquiry by Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Adjudged of taking kickbacks from the oil corporations, Fall became the earliest administrative committee officer to go to penitentiary.
