Option: D. Many people called for him to be impeached.

Explanation:

President Richard Nixon's Watergate Scandal caused an uproar in America. Breaking in at offices in the Watergate complex under the direction of White House employees and subsequent cover-up by President Nixon during CIA investigation called for impeachment. The Saturday Night Massacre was the removal of Archibald Cox with the resignations of William Ruckelshaus and Attorney General Elliot Richardson during the Watergate Scandal.
