a. to settle the 1876 presidential election

b. to make the fifteenth amendment a law

c. to put native americans on new lands called
eservations\

d. to allow slavery in western states

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 was an agreement that resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election between Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican) and Samuel J. Tilden (Democrat). Option B is incorrect because the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in 1870. Option C refers to the policy of placing Native Americans on reservations, which is not related to the Compromise of 1877. Option D is incorrect as the Compromise of 1877 had nothing to do with allowing slavery in western states (slavery was already abolished by the 13th Amendment).

Answer:

A. To settle the 1876 presidential election
