The correct answer is C. Harding's Interior Secretary Albert Fall was accused of leasing government-owned oilfields to private business without allowing competitive bids.

Explanation

During this term, Albert Fall convinced the United States Navy to cede him the control of the two large reserves of oil, one in California called Elk Hills and that of Wyoming called Teapot Dome. Additionally, after taking control of the reserves, he began to take advantage and obtain economic benefits from the lease of these reserves to private businesses and by manipulating the bid process, however, after this was discovered Albert Fall was jailed and lease agreements were canceled. So, the correct aswer is C. Harding's Interior Secretary Albert Fall was accused of leasing government-owned oilfields to private business without allowing competitive bids.
