A) The factor that had a direct impact on the results of the 1932 presidential election was rising unemployment levels.

The Great Depression had a significant effect on the economy, leading to widespread unemployment and hardships that influenced voters to support Franklin D. Roosevelt over incumbent President Herbert Hoover. While Hoover's health, party dynamics, and the popularity of the Democratic Party played roles in the election, the primary driver for voter sentiment was the dire economic situation.
