Explanation:

The correct answer is C) Roosevelt thought Taft would carry out Roosevelt's progressive reforms.

Theodore Roosevelt wanted William Taft to succeed him as president because Roosevelt thought Taft would carry out Roosevelt's progressive reforms.

William Taft was the Secretary of War in Roosevelt's administration. President Roosevelt wanted Taft to succeed him to continue with his progressive reforms but that was not the case.
