The correct answer is **d. Extending certain protections of the Bill of Rights to the states**.
Incorporation refers to the legal doctrine used by the courts to apply the protections of the Bill of Rights to the states through the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. This process ensures that states cannot infringe upon the rights that are guaranteed to individuals at the federal level.
