Answer 1

Answer is Option A: Roosevelt built a home in the community and frequently visited for polio treatments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Franklin D. Roosevelt was struck with a paralytic illness, polio. He visited Warm springs for its treatment. Warm Springs was known for its therapeutic spa and water treatments. Roosevelt was recovering well, and he became a frequent visitor there for three years. Roosevelt then bought a property and created a foundation ‘Warm Springs Foundation’, which would be a non-profit one and treat polio victims. It was the first hospital in the nation of this kind. So, the community of Warm Springs had a strong attachment with the President.
