this is the answer i took the test!

The correct answer is option A - Government jobs taken from a current president´s opponents and given to supporters.

The spoil system was a practice in which the political party winning an election appointed its campaign workers in government posts. They hired and fired federal workers every time presidential administration changed.

It started from the 1820s until after the Civil War.

One must have into account the fact that, although the term is American, there are many other languages that carry out this practice even nowadays.
