Option C

Explanation:

In 1928, Roosevelt was elected as the governor of New York and served the nation until the Presidential elections in 1932.  This position had provided him with the opportunity to prove his worth for the nation and also a perfect base for launching a proposal for presidential post.

Roosevelt was urged by Al Smith for standing in the elections for the post of governor of New York. During his governor ship, Roosevelt had brought reforms in economic policies, mainly the labour law by proposing the unemployment insurance bill and old age pension bill.
