Fair Deal
The Fair Deal was the name given to the domestic programs of U.S. president Harry S. Truman. First used in 1949, the term generally refers to Truman's entire presidency (1945–53). Included among the Fair Deal proposals were a full employment law, a national health insurance plan, extended social security, aid to education, civil rights legislation, public housing, universal military training, an increase in the minimum wage, and a fair employment practices act. Many of these programs had to wait for action until later administrations; others were never realized at all. In response to Truman's proposals, however, Congress passed the Employment Act of 1946, which established the Council of Economic Advisers; the Housing Act of 1949, which was the first to provide federal funds for urban renewal; the Fair Labor Standards Act Amendments of 1949, which raised the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour; and the Social Security Act Amendments of 1950, which increased Social Security benefits and extended their coverage to include an additional 10 million persons, including agricultural and domestic workers, state and local government employees, and self-employed persons.
(d) is the correct answer.

The New Deal, but I think you have the wrong president. It was F.D. Roosevelt.
