The correct answer is B) Roosevelt introduced a Court-packing plan to add justices to the Supreme Court in order to counterbalance the pro-business justices who were already serving.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the excerpt or the text. Where is it? Without the excerpt, we can only research for some information that can have sense.

So, taking that into consideration we can say that the way Roosevelt most likely warranted the criticism contained in the excerpt is "Roosevelt introduced a Court-packing plan to add justices to the Supreme Court in order to counterbalance the pro-business justices who were already serving."

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s court-packing plan sought to change the makeup of the Supreme Court by expanding the nine-member Court with up to six more judges.

Rosevelt announced his intention to expand the Supreme Court with six more members to have 15. The announcement was made on February 5, 1937. The Bill's name was The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, and Rosevelt’s main goal was to obtain the support of the Supre Court for his New Deal program. The Bill was never voted.
