The best example of checks and balances from the provided options is:
**the Senate approving a justice appointed by the president**
This option illustrates the system of checks and balances, as it demonstrates the legislative branch (the Senate) exercising its authority to confirm or deny a judicial appointment made by the executive branch (the president). This process ensures that both branches of government have a role in the appointment of justices, hence providing a check on each other's powers.
