Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In politics and governments, an incumbent refers to an elected person who holds a public office (e.g. senator).

The others are not concerned with holding a position in a public office:

A delegate is chosen to speak or act for a group of people, a candidate is nominated for election and an appointee is empowered by someone take decision on a property.
