The answer is D:

"It determined the winner of the election for the first time in American History"

The 2000 presidential election had Al Gore against Bush, with Gore winning the popular vote but neither candidate winning the required amount of electoral votes. The stalemate was left for the supreme court to decide, with Bush winning 5-4.
