c. President Cleveland preferred that the monarchy be restored to power.

Explanation:

The Hawaiian monarch Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown by a coalition of 13 Caucasian businessmen, and lawyers under Sanford Ballard Dole, a group named Committee of Safety and a new provincial government was established with Dole as the new president. At that time, the president of the United States Grover Cleveland decided to send a new minister to restore Queen Liliuokalani under the Constitution of 1887, but Dole declined to move away and declared the independent Republic of Hawaii.
