Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text mentions that in 1930 and 1931, the song was widely played (bands playing it, records made) and caused concern among Republicans (they tried to ban it). This indicates that the song had an impact and resonated with people (as it was popular enough to worry a political party). There is no mention of Harburg's wealth from the song. Just because Republicans were worried about the song doesn't mean they lost the election (no election result details). And there's no indication the president was a fan of the songwriters.

Answer:

B. the song and its message struck a chord with the American public
