d. Tammany Hall was notorious for bribing officials and law enforcement and offering payoffs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tammany Hall was notorious for D) bribing officials and law enforcement and offering payoffs. In the 1860s and 1870s, the leaders of Tammany Hall, such as "Boss" Tweed, used bribery and corruption to extort over $200 million from the city of New York.

They would demand kickbacks and bribes from anyone doing business in the city, which allowed them to amass large fortunes.
