The answer is letter A.
Before Roosevelt introduced this plan, the Supreme Court have rejected
many elements of his New Deal plan because the authority held by the Executive
was too much and considered unconstitutional.
He thought that by adding more justices to the Supreme Court, it would
protect his legislation.  Still it was
rejected by both liberals and conservatives.
