Answer
A
Regan won the large majority of states.

All Democrats voted for Carter.
C
Although the popular vote was not close, the Electoral College vote was close.

Evangelical voters were an important source of Reagan’s support.

Explanation

Reagan won 44 states in 1980, so he won a large majority of them. Evangelical voters were also an important part of his coalition of supporters. Carter did not receive every Democratic vote, and the Electoral College result was not close: Reagan won 489 electoral votes to Carter’s 49, as well as a substantial popular-vote victory.
