The correct answer is C) The president nominates the candidates and the Senate confirms or rejects them.

In the United States, the president has the authority to nominate candidates for the Supreme Court, and then the Senate holds hearings and votes to confirm or reject those nominations. This process is outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
