Of the list, the following statements about the New Deal are true: C. it was based on ideas and reforms proposed earlier by the Progressive Party and D. it established pensions and benefits for the elderly, children, and the handicapped.

A is false because the New Deal took place under President Franklin Roosevelt, not Herbert Hoover. B is false because the New Deal in great part responded to the wealth and inequality gaps brought about by the oil and steel owners. Instead of providing assistance to them, the New Deal actively opposed them.
