Answer:

A. Warren Burger.

Step-by-step explanation:

He was the Chief Justice appointed by the Nixon administration five years before the landmark case United States v. Nixon.

In the case, Burger wrote the unanimous decision against the president ordering him to deliver tapes recording and other materials to a federal district court.
