The correct answer is:

D. Through a series of newspaper articles.

Explanation:

The Watergate Scandal began during President's Nixon reelection campaign, when five men broke into the Democratic National Committee's Watergate headquarters to steal copies of top-secret documents and were caught by the police. Nixon's office tried to cover their participation in the robbery when the Washington Post published that one of the five men belonged to President Nixon's reelection committee. Nixon's team denied it but investigations continued and the press followed closely those investigations.

The Washington Post received anonymous letters under the alias of "Deep Throat" that revealed what was truly happening and was the first newspaper to report facts of the Watergate Scandal in their front page. The New York Times and Times also participated in revealing the truth about the Watergate break in and pressured the legislative branch to look deeply into the case.
