Which best describes the role of the US Supreme Court in the 2000 presidential election?

In Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court stopped the Florida recount in December 2000. Because the recount was not completed before Florida’s deadline for certifying its results, George W. Bush won Florida’s electoral votes and the presidency. So the best choice is “It stopped a recount in Florida, resulting in Bush’s election.”
