D. They could veto any law or action of a magistrate
Tribunes of the plebs were elected officials in ancient Rome who were chosen to represent the interests of the common people, or plebeians. They had the power to veto, or block, any law or action of a magistrate (such as a consul or praetor) that they felt was harmful to the plebeians. This gave them significant influence and power within the Roman government.
