Which of the following best describes Rutherford B Hayes and and civil service reform

Rutherford B Hayes was an advocate for civil service reform. He believed that the government should appoint people to office based on their qualifications and merit, rather than their loyalty to the party. His 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act put in place a merit-based system for federal appointments and prohibited political patronage. He also created the Civil Service Commission to oversee and administer examinations for government jobs. His reforms sought to reduce the privileges of party bosses and bring about fairness and impartiality in government appointments.
