The correct response is: **Extending certain protections of the Bill of Rights to the states**.
Incorporation refers to the process by which the Supreme Court has applied portions of the Bill of Rights to the states through the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, thereby ensuring that state laws also respect individual rights guaranteed at the federal level.
