The correct answer is d. "An active political partner of her husband and a key proponent of new deal liberalism"

Eleanor Roosevelt was arguably one of the most active first lady's in American history. When her husband, FDR, was elected President she took on a huge role when his New Deal policies were implemented. She would travel around the country observing political institutions, banks, and other federal programs in order to report back to her husband about their progress. Along with this, she supported/encouraged the programs that helped different artists during this time (such as the Works Progress Administration).
