Explanation:

Question 1

Spanish Influenza (1918 - 1919) occurred during and after WWI, killing ~500,000+ (started in US). COVID - 19, Avian/Swine Flus, SARS are not from WWI era.

Teapot Dome Scandal: Sec. of Interior Albert Fall leased oil reserves (Teapot Dome) to companies for $300k bribes. Coolidge/Harding didn't give rights (option c's wife poisoning is false).

Calvin Coolidge's policies: supported big business, laissez - faire economics (wealth creation benefits nation). Option b (trust - busting, regulation) is for TR/Taft; option c (interventionism, League of Nations) is incorrect.

Answer:

c. the Spanish influenza
