The most accurate critique of presidential systems of government from the options provided is:

Presidential systems of government are more likely to result in a high concentration of power in a single branch.

In presidential systems, the president often has significant powers, and if checks and balances are weak, this can lead to an accumulation of power in the executive branch. The other statements are either incorrect or misrepresent how presidential systems function. For instance, courts can and often do check presidential actions, and in presidential systems, the head of the executive branch is typically elected by the public, not selected by the legislature. Divided government can occur in both presidential and parliamentary systems, but it's not inherently a critique of presidential systems only.
