After the 2000 presidential election, President George W. Bush kept his campaign promise to

Answer
A
lower taxes.
B
stop immigration.
C
take away business tax credits.
D
reform welfare programs.

Explanation

President George W. Bush’s major early policy achievement was the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, which reduced federal income taxes. This fulfilled his campaign promise to lower taxes. He did not promise to stop immigration or take away business tax credits, and welfare reform was not the pledge referred to here.
