b. he had kept britain from stopping war shipments to germany.

c. he had kept the country out of the war.

d. he had formed a team to develop new technology to destroy submarines.

Explanation:

In the 1916 election, President Wilson's campaign slogan was "He kept us out of war" (referring to World War I). Option A is incorrect as there's no evidence he censored pro - British news. Option B is wrong because Britain was blocking war shipments to Germany, and Wilson didn't prevent that. Option D is incorrect as there's no such relevant team formation for submarine destruction. Option C aligns with the historical context of Wilson's re - election, as keeping the US out of the war was a major factor.

Answer:

C. He had kept the country out of the war.
