The correct answer is C) writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America.

<em>According to the quote, the statement that best describes Roosevelt’s view in journalism is that writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America. </em>

Roosevelt continues: “The men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well being of society”, meaning that journalist that expose corruption cases are necessary to have a transparent government that citizens can be proud of.

The term muckraker, coined by Roosevelt identifies the journalist that exposed and attacked corruption cases in businesses or corrupt leaders.
