Answer:

Correct answer is to provide for presidential succession.

Step-by-step explanation:

Beside limiting president's mandate to two terms it also explain the terms of how a new president is succeeding the previous president whose term hasn't expired yet.

All other mentioned options are not in any way connected with 22 Amendment.
