Correct.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
The correct answer is B. (New Nationalism).
To arrive at the answer, we can break down the options and use process of elimination:
A. New Freedom was actually the campaign platform of Woodrow Wilson, who was Roosevelt's primary opponent in the 1912 election. This option is incorrect.
C. Square Deal was Teddy Roosevelt's original campaign platform when he ran for the presidency in 1904. While it carried over some of the progressive policies that Roosevelt advocated for, it was not the platform of the Bull Moose Party in the 1912 election. This option is incorrect.
D. Fair Deal, introduced by President Harry S. Truman in 1949, is not related to Teddy Roosevelt or the election of 1912. This option is incorrect.
By process of elimination, we can determine that the correct answer is B. (New Nationalism). Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party platform in the election of 1912 was centered around the concept of "New Nationalism," which emphasized progressive reforms such as increased government regulation of big business, social welfare programs, and women's suffrage.
