The correct answer is A) Carpetbaggers.

Many white southerners referred to northern-born Republicans who came South right after the war as carpetbaggers.

It was a derogatory word that southerners used to identify northern-born Republicans who came South right after the war. These people from the North came to the southern states to promote political agendas or they wanted to start a business in the region. This happened during the reconstruction era, from 1863 to 1877.
