"Americans were ready for a change in leadership."
Explanation: Reagan’s victory reflected widespread dissatisfaction with the Carter administration—high inflation and unemployment, the Iran hostage crisis, and a general sense of malaise—so many voters wanted a new direction. The other choices are incorrect: the win doesn’t prove more registered Republicans than Democrats; Reagan’s platform favored increased, not cut, military spending; and many voters did cross party lines (the so‑called "Reagan Democrats").
