Answer:
The correct answer is D. It demonstrated that third-party candidates could find some success in national elections.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 1996 presidential election was the 53rd presidential election in U.S. history. The election took place on November 5, 1996, and re-elected Bill Clinton and Al Gore as President and Vice President respectively for the 1997-2001 period. Bob Dole and Jack Kemp of the Republican Party lost by a large margin, mainly because of the votes taken away by Ross Perot, who was also a conservative option in this election. He was the presidential candidate for the Reform Party, and took 8 million votes from the conservatives, which most likely would have been for the Republican Party if he was not a candidate.
