Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the constitution, the president's power to appoint officials must be checked by the U.S. Senate, which has the power of advice and consent to confirm or reject all political appointments, including judges, justices, and cabinet-level officials. Therefore, option D is the best choice. The other options are not accurate because the Supreme Court does not have approval power over appointments, the FBI conducts background checks but does not have the power to approve or reject appointments, a three-fourths approval of state legislatures is not required, and while the CIA conducts security clearances, they do not have a role in confirming appointments.
