Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about Huey Long as governor of Louisiana:

• Analyze each option:
• "increased taxes on the wealthiest residents of his state": Huey Long implemented policies like the "Share Our Wealth" program, which included taxing the wealthy to fund programs for the poor, so this is accurate.
• "became a very unpopular political figure nationally": Huey Long had a significant following and was popular among many, especially the poor, so this is incorrect.
• "signed the Conservative Manifesto to undo the New Deal": The Conservative Manifesto was against the New Deal, but Huey Long was a supporter of redistributive policies and not associated with this manifesto; he had his own plans, so this is incorrect.
• "dismissed New Deal programs and promoted his own": Huey Long initially supported the New Deal but later proposed his own "Share Our Wealth" plan as he felt the New Deal didn't go far enough, but he didn't dismiss New Deal programs outright, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. increased taxes on the wealthiest residents of his state
