The correct answer is C. Many citizens felt that they benefited from corrupt leaders

Explanation:

"The shame of the cities" is the name of a book written by  Lincoln Steffens and published in 1904, in this book he included different articles that reported in the U.S. there were many cities that benefit from corruption especially corruption in politics and there was no mechanism to stop this. One of the main purposes of Steffens was to show corruption does not occur isolated but is supported by common citizens who ended supporting those leaders and powerful people who were corrupt looking for getting benefits from this corruption or because they ignore corruption and thus, corruption was not stopped. Therefore, the point Lincoln Steffens reported in "The Shame of the Cities" was "many citizens felt that they benefited from corrupt leaders".
