The correct option that is widely considered to have cost Al Gore the presidential election of 2000 is the candidacy of Ralph Nader. Nader, running as the Green Party candidate, drew a significant number of votes away from Gore, particularly in key states like Florida, which ultimately determined the outcome of the election. The narrow margin in Florida led to a contentious Supreme Court decision and ultimately allowed George W. Bush to win the presidency.
