The right answer is C) : Origins can be traced back several decades before Ronald Reagan became president.

Explanation:

The New Right was not in existence several decades before Ronald Reagan became president in 1980. The New Right formed as a movement just a few (at most 2) decades before Ronald Reagan became president; actually, it started in the 1960s and 1970s by members who were unhappy over the rise in certain social and cultural issues such as crime, abortion, the social unrest due to the Vietnam War, and the practice of sexuality in public. In 1973, after the Supreme Court made a ruling in the Roe v. Wade case, a parallel movement called the Religious Right, which was in support of the New Right movement, opposed the ruling. The Religious Right was made up of so many Protestant Christians who opposed abortion and homosexuality.
