Answer:

B. Tilden won the popular vote, Hayes narrowly won the electoral vote, and votes in four states were disputed.

Explanation:

Why is it B you ask?

Simple. It is B because on Nov. 7 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. It was one of the most contentious presidential elections in American history, and gave rise to the Compromise of 1877 by which the Democrats conceded the election to Hayes in return for an end to Reconstruction and the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. After a controversial post-election process, Hayes was declared the winner with a total of 185 electoral votes, and Samuel was super close with a total of a whopping 184 electoral votes.
