Answer: (A)

Leslie Applegate from New Jersey was the first National FFA President, elected at the organization’s first national convention in 1928. This established the presidency as the inaugural national leadership role for the FFA and set the pattern for student leaders guiding the organization at the national level. The other names led in later years, but none held the founding post.
