The most accurate answer would be:
A. The acting president appoints federal judges as a way to enforce the system of checks and balances.
The Constitution grants the president the authority to appoint federal judges, but this power is balanced by the Senate's role in confirming those appointments. This process is designed to ensure that no single branch of government becomes too powerful and that judicial appointments reflect a broader consensus.
