What was president richard nixon trying to avoid when he claimed executive privilege during the watergate scandal? a. admitting that he knew about the break-in to prosecutors b. handing over secret tapes of oval office conversations to prosecutors c. handing over papers gathered by the fbi to prosecutors d. handing over videotapes from democratic headquarters to prosecutors

The correct answer is B. handing over secret tapes of Oval Office conversations to prosecutors

There are tapes of secret the conversations in the oval office that are recorded for security purposes and he didn't want to turn them in. When he did turn them in, some of the parts of the tapes were silent or were scrambled so it couldn't be heard what he said. Eventually he resigned and was later pardoned for his actions by the next President.
