The answer to the question about the change brought about by the election depends on the specific election being referenced, as various elections in American history have had different impacts on politics. However, generally speaking, if we are discussing a significant election in terms of shifts in political power and influence, the most applicable answer might be:

A) a shift in political power from elites to average Americans.

This reflects a trend observed in various elections where populist movements have gained traction, influencing the political landscape toward greater representation of average citizens' interests. If you're referring to a specific historical election (like the 2016 or 2020 presidential elections), additional context may be necessary to provide a more tailored answer.
