    The right choice is:

    a. Abraham Lincoln was elected with less than half of the popular vote.

    Explanation:

    Lincoln was the first Republican to win the presidency. He won the Electoral College clearly, but he only got 40% of the popular vote. Even so, he got more popular votes than any other candidate. Lincoln was an abolitionist, his election was a factor of the outbreak of the Civil War.
