The correct answer is **C. Democrats were divided.**
Abraham Lincoln won the election of 1860, in part, because the Democratic Party was split into multiple factions, which led to a divided vote among his opponents. This division allowed Lincoln to secure a victory despite not having widespread support in some regions, particularly the South. The other options do not accurately represent the broader reasons for his election.
