Answer:

a. neither have term limits

Step-by-step explanation:

The only similarity list here is that neither have term limits. A member of Congress is only limited in the length of his/her job by their ability to win reelection, their decision to retire from Congress, or by being removed from office because of violating the law. The same is true of a Supreme Court Justice, with the exception of reelection: Justices are not elected, but nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

The answer is A

A Justice serves for life after he is appointed, and a member of congress can serve for life too, as long as he is reelected time after time.

For example, Peter King is a member of congress from Long Island, New York. He has been serving in office since 1993 and could do so as long as he continues being reelected.
