Answer:

D. The spoils system

Explanation:

In the spoils systems, government jobs were awarded to friends, relatives, and supporters of the winning polity party. After elections, politicians from the winning party would reward their supporters and friends with government jobs as a gift for their loyalty. Government employees would change after every election.

The civil service system came to replace the spoils system. Under the civil service system, civil servants are hired through a competitive selection process. The state and employ the workers, not the ruling administration. In the civil service system, civil servants continue working regardless of which political party wins elections.
