"Nixon inherited a number of challenges, including a war, and needed to find a way to unite a divided nation."

Reason: Nixon took office in 1969 with the Vietnam War ongoing and deep domestic divisions over the war, civil rights, and cultural change. He ran on restoring "law and order" and seeking a negotiated end to Vietnam. The other choices describe JFK/LBJ or later periods (and the Watergate scandal surfaced later in Nixon's presidency).
