The correct answer to the question is:
They were caught and arrested.
Here is a breakdown of why this answer is correct:
1. CREEP stands for the Committee to Re-Elect the President, which was involved in the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s.
2. Five members of CREEP broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., in 1972.
3. These individuals were caught and arrested by the authorities for their involvement in the burglary.
4. The Watergate scandal eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974 due to the cover-up and other illegal activities related to the break-in.
Therefore, based on the historical events surrounding the Watergate scandal, the most accurate statement is that the five members of CREEP who broke into the Democratic headquarters were caught and arrested.
