Explanation:

To determine which 1941 Roosevelt legislation was most controversial, we analyze each option:

• The Cash - and - Carry amendment (part of Neutrality Acts) was earlier.
• The Neutrality Acts were a series, not a 1941 - specific controversial piece.
• The Destroyers for Bases agreement was in 1940.
• The Lend - Lease Act (1941) allowed the US to lend/lease war supplies to allies, bypassing neutrality. It was highly controversial as it moved the US closer to war, with debates over aiding allies and potential involvement.

Answer:

The Lend - Lease Act
