Answer:
The correct answer is C. It is false that the Progressive movement lost its momentum on the national level as a consequence of the Republican Party's split in 1912.
Explanation:
The presidential elections of 1912 were held on November 5 of that year, and saw the victory of the Democratic Party, with its candidate Woodrow Wilson, over the Republican Party. This was largely due to the fact that the latter party suffered a split that led it to compete on two separate fronts: on the one hand, the Republican Party itself with William Howard Taft, and on the other the Progressive Party with Theodore Roosevelt at the head.
The division occurred because Roosevelt lost the Republican inmates to Taft, and still decided to stand for election with his own political party, the so-called Bull Moose Party. This party represented the progressive ideas of the Republican Party, which had chosen a more moderate candidate.
The division allowed the Democratic victory, which still applied many progressive measures previously defended by Roosevelt in his previous governments, continuing the progressive era until the beginning of the 1920s.
