The answer to the social studies question presented above would be letter b. wiretaps. Part of Nixon's officials' methods of keeping tabs on the opposition was conducting wiretaps on the opponent. All the other choices were not applicable.

The answer is letter c. wiretaps. Nixon’s aides were caught at a Democratic office which started the Watergate Scandal where he taped phone calls to find out what people were thinking. As a result, many government officials and employees were arrested. Rather than be impeached, Nixon chose to resign.
