Final answer:
The order of succession for a governorship can vary by state, and the U.S. Constitution does not set this for states. Usually, the lieutenant governor succeeds the governor, not listed in the choices, but a potential order from the choices given, reflecting federal succession practices, might be (d) Secretary of State, Treasurer, Attorney General.
Step-by-step explanation:
When considering the succession to the governorship, it is important to be aware that the specific order can vary by state. The U.S. Constitution does not specify the order of succession for state governors, as that is a matter determined by each state's constitution. Generally, the lieutenant governor is the first in line to succeed a governor in the event of death, resignation, or incapacity. Other common officials in the line of succession might include the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Treasurer, but the order among these can differ by state. The reference material provided does not indicate the exact order for a state succession, but it is known that, at the federal level, after the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate, succession continues with the Secretary of State and then other cabinet officials.
Since the lieutenant governor often succeeds the governor directly and is not an option in the provided choices, and taking into account the provided reference is not state-specific, option (d) Secretary of State, Treasurer, Attorney General is one possible answer drawn from general knowledge of succession order at the federal level, though this may not be accurate for any specific state.
