The correct option is C Operatives in the pay of Nixon's reelection committee

People associated with Richard Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building in order to obtain copies of the opposition's documents and plant microphones in their offices. The Watergate burglars were operatives in the pay of the White House–based Committee to Re-elect the President.
