b.)party candidates
c.)judges
d.)party bosses

The correct answer is D) Party bosses. Party bosses were individuals who worked for a political machine. The goal of these political machines was to get specific individuals elected so that they could control city politics. To do this, party bosses would target specific groups (like immigrants). They would help immigrants obtain jobs in exchange for their promise to vote for a candidate officially with the political boss. This resulted in thousands of immigrants being controlled by political bosses.
