Explanation:

In the context of Georgia's gubernatorial dispute, Ellis Arnall was the outgoing governor who had lost the previous election but still laid claim to the governor's seat. Melvin Thompson and Herman Talmadge were also involved in the dispute, but Arnall was the one fitting the "outgoing (lost election) yet claiming the seat" description.

Answer:

B. Ellis Arnall (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A: Melvin Thompson, B: Ellis Arnall, C: Herman Talmadge; adjust label as per actual option numbering, but the correct person is Ellis Arnall)
