Answer 1

The BEST description of the Compromise of 1877 is:

**B Hayes becomes President and Reconstruction ends.**

This compromise resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election, leading to Rutherford B. Hayes becoming president in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, which effectively ended Reconstruction.
