Final answer:

Elizabeth Fuller does not get to b) vote in elections due to the doctrine of coverture and property requirements for voting rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on Elizabeth Fuller's diary and historical context, Elizabeth Fuller does not get to vote in elections.

During the era described, women were subject to the doctrine of coverture and, in most states, had to be property owners to qualify for voting rights.

Married women could neither own property independently nor did they pay taxes, which disenfranchised them from voting.

However, single, property-holding women like Virginian Hannah Corbin argued that they should have the right to vote or be exempt from property taxes. Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Vote in elections.
