A Correct answer
Explanation

The Teddy Bear was named after President Theodore Roosevelt after a 1902 hunting trip where he refused to shoot a bear that had been cornered and tied up for him. A political cartoon depicting the incident inspired a Brooklyn candy shop owner to create stuffed toy bears called 'Teddy's Bears,' which became hugely popular. The name honors Roosevelt's sportsmanship and compassion, and the toy has remained a children's favorite ever since.
