andrew johnson became president after the assassination of ____________.
options:
william harrison
andrew jackson
abraham lincoln

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we recall U.S. presidential history: Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, and Andrew Johnson, who was Lincoln’s vice president, succeeded him. William Harrison died of illness shortly after taking office, and Andrew Jackson served earlier (1829–1837) and was not assassinated. So Andrew Johnson became president after Lincoln’s assassination.

Answer:

C. Abraham Lincoln (assuming the third option is labeled C; if the options are as shown with the third being "Abraham Lincoln", the correct option is the one with "Abraham Lincoln".)
