Answer:

D. Obey, follow the rule

Step-by-step explanation:

Literally, the word "comply" means "obey," "enforce". Within the text to which the question refers, the word "comply" refers to Al Gore's judicial request that the votes for the presidential election be recounted, as the electoral justice approved this request, an order was created to recount that should be carried out by all determined states, that is, the counties had to comply with recent request.
