b. white southerner who supported the radical republicans
c. northerner traveling to the south to make money
d. former confederate leader moving out of the south

The correct answer is C. Northerner traveling to the South to make money

Explanation:

After the American Civil War, that divided the nation into the Northern states and the Southern states, many northerners decided to move to the south looking for business and opportunities in a society that had been partially destroyed and that allowed rich Northerners to begin a new business, these people were called "carpetbaggers".

In the cartoon presented, a man that seems to be rich and sophisticated carries two big loads and in one of the of them there are the words "carpetbagger" and "south", this shows this man is a "carpetbagger" going to the South" which means this person is rich and lived in the north but now is moving to the South looking for money and therefore, the cartoon depicts a "Northerner traveling to the South to make money" or a "carpetbagger".
