a growing number of americans mistrusted the military because of its intervention.
hoover’s popularity fell farther, ultimately costing him his reelection
hoover took last minute action to salvage his chances of winning the election
other organizations abandoned their efforts to stage protests in washington, d.c.

Explanation:

To determine the correct effect, we analyze the historical context: Hoover's response to the Bonus Army (using military force to disperse them) was widely unpopular. Option 1 is incorrect as the public's mistrust was more toward Hoover, not primarily the military. Option 3 is wrong because Hoover did not take last - minute actions to save his election chances; his response hurt his chances. Option 4 is incorrect as other protests were not necessarily abandoned. Hoover's popularity plummeted due to his harsh response, leading to his loss in re - election.

Answer:

B. Hoover's popularity fell farther, ultimately costing him his reelection
