The correct answer is A. The controversies surrounding the 2000 presidential election were that by a 5 to 4 vote, the Supreme Court ordered a stop to the recount in Florida and gave the election to George W. Bush.

Explanation:

The 2000 US presidential election was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000.

The polls were dominated by the post-election woes of the two main candidates, Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush, who had to wait for the results of the state of Florida, determinants of the final result, for more than a month. Bush won Florida with 537 votes in advance. These results were contested by the Democratic candidate before the Florida Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court. The latter considered in Bush v. Gore December 12, 2000 that the recount ordered by the Supreme Court of Florida was unconstitutional by 7 votes to 2 and, by 5 votes against 4, that it was impossible to perform a constitutional recount within the time prescribed by the Constitution of the United State. It canceled the final manual recount of votes still taking place in Miami-Dade County, de facto nominating George W. Bush as the winner of the presidential election. Private recounts conducted in 2001 by a consortium of several US newspapers and the University of Chicago showed that if the specific recount called by Al Gore in the three counties had been successful, it could not have reversed the trend favorable to Bush, while a recount of the entire state of Florida would have championed the democrat Al Gore.
