The correct answer is B. The Watergate Scandal involved the president and top government aids in the concealment of a federal burglary crime.

Explanation:

The Watergate scandal was a political scandal that caused a serious constitutional crisis during the seventies of the twentieth century in the United States of America. The scandal took over the name of the commercial and residential complex called Watergate in Washington DC, the seat of the Democratic electoral committee.

It all began on June 17, 1972, with the arrest of five men, on the expense of the re-election committee of Republican President Richard Nixon, when they tried to enter illegally and place escort devices in the offices of the Democratic Party National Committee, at the Washington Watergate complex. The FBI connected the payments to the thieves with a fund box for bribes, used by the Presidential Re-election Committee in 1972. As an organized event against the presidential team, which included former team members who would testify against him in a research led by the Senate Committee for the Watergate, it was revealed that President Nixon had a recording system with magnetic tapes in his offices and had recorded many conversations. The recordings of those tapes involved the president, and revealed that he would have tried to cover the robbery. After a series of judicial battles, the Supreme Court ruled that the President had to deliver the tapes, which he eventually did.

When he saw impeachment close to the House of Representatives and a strong possibility that the Senate might accuse him, Nixon resigned as president on August 9, 1974. His successor, Gerald Ford, granted Nixon a pardon for all the crimes he had committed against the United States while he was president.
