Explanation:

In the 1896 election, William Jennings Bryan lost to William McKinley. After that, he did not retire from politics nor defeat McKinley to serve as president or as a senator in that context. Instead, he ran for president two more times (in 1900 and 1908). So the correct option is the one stating "After losing to McKinley, Bryan ran for president twice more."

Answer:

After losing to McKinley, Bryan ran for president twice more.
