The Reform Act of 1832 enfranchised a significant portion of the middle class by lowering property requirements for voting. It was a major step toward a more equitable electoral system in Britain, although it did not extend voting rights to women or all working-class men. Thus, the correct answer is A. A significant portion of the middle class.
