Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Barry Goldwater was the Republican Party presidential nominee in 1964 who advocated for the reduction of taxation and government regulations, which became key elements of modern Republican Party beliefs. Nixon was also a proponent of these ideas, but he was not the nominee in 1964; Reagan and Roosevelt were not part of the Republican Party in 1964, and they had different economic policies in their administrations.
