The correct answer is: It split the Republican vote and allowed the Democrats to win.

The Bull Moose Party, which was formed by former President Theodore Roosevelt after a split in the Republican Party, attracted many progressive voters. This split in the Republican vote contributed significantly to the victory of Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson in the 1912 presidential election.
