The correct answer is:
a) appoint a woman to the Supreme Court.
Throughout his 1980 campaign, Reagan promised that, if presented the chance, he would designate the first female Supreme Court Justice. That opportunity arrived in his first year in office when he chose Sandra Day O'Connor to fill the opening created by the retirement of Justice Potter Stewart. O'Connor was approved by the Senate on September 21, 1981. She served from her appointment until her retirement in 2006.
