Answer:

D). life

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why answer choice "D). life" would be the correct answer because Supreme Court Justices have a life long term.

As a Supreme Court Justice, you're allowed to be on term for as long as you want, in other words, you can be an Supreme Court Justices for the rest of your life if you choose to do so.

One of the only ways a Supreme Court Justice's term could end short is if they were impeached. They can only get "kicked out" from their position from impeachment.

Impeachment is the act in which someone brings up crimes that one of the "justice" or "associates" allegedly committed. If it comes out as true, then the justice or associate would be charged and "removed" from the Supreme Court. They could keep their seat in the Supreme Court if they keep behavior that is good.

All in all, they could stay as a Supreme Court Justice for as long as they want, even possibly stay until they pass away.

I hope this helped!

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!
