Answer
A
Congress rejected the bill but Lincoln approved it.
B
It became law after Lincoln signed it.
C
It became law after passing in Congress.
D
Lincoln refused to sign it into law by using a pocket veto.

Explanation

Congress passed the Wade–Davis Bill in 1864, but President Abraham Lincoln opposed its strict requirements for Reconstruction. He did not sign it before Congress adjourned, so it died through a pocket veto. Thus, the correct choice is “Lincoln refused to sign it into law by using a pocket veto.”
