The correct answer is C) George Plunkitt.

George Plunkitt rose to be one of New York’s most powerful party bosses.

He was a Tammany Hall member, a politician of the so questioned political machine that with personal agendas, influenced political decisions in New York City for many years. He was a corruptible politician as well as Boss Tweed, that became very rich corrupting government officials, trying to control decisions in the political arena.
