Explanation:

• Option A: The Vietnam War ended in 1975, but the Paris Peace Accords (1973) under Nixon and the final withdrawal happened, and Ford was president when the war officially ended, but it's not his most remembered act.
• Option B: The oil embargo (1973 - 1974) was addressed during Ford's presidency, but ending it isn't his most iconic event.
• Option C: Ford lost the 1976 election and did not win a second term.
• Option D: Gerald Ford is best remembered for pardoning Richard Nixon (who resigned due to Watergate) shortly after taking office, which was a highly controversial and defining act of his presidency.

Answer:

D. Pardoning Richard Nixon
