b. It was the Democratic slogan for the presidential election of 1844.

Explanation:

Polk was the flag bearer of the democratic party in the election of 1844. This was a period when U. S was conflicting with Britain over the ownership of the Oregon territory.

Polk named the struggle; 'fifty four, forty or fight' to mean, the location of Oregon as a whole, which, if not given to the U. S would result to a fight to get it.

This, is the slogan that made the democratic party acceptable among the people leading to their subsequent victory in the 1844 election.
