    Option C is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    The Spirit of Tweed is mighty still " ... and even yet you don't know what you are going to do about it!" is a cartoon which was drawn by Thomas Nast and published in 1886. It shows William Marcy "Boss" Tweed in prison; he has a diamond even though he wears his uniform and he died 8 years before. There is a placard showing men laying sacks of money and it says "Bribery & corruption right under her nose (in reference to Justice) every day in the week. By doing so, the author wanted to express that Boss Tweed was gone, but corruption was still a problem in New York's government.
