The options to your Question are:

a) Saturday Night Massacre

b) Executive Privilege Firings

c) Nixon Cover-Up

d) Watergate Scandal

The correct answer is Option a. Saturday Night Massacre refers to President Nixon's order to fire several of his staff members who refused to follow his orders. The exact origin of this phrase could not be tracked but it first appeared in an Article of Washington Post two days following the event and the author of that article stated in the article that the event was already being termed as Saturday Night Massacre.
