C. it has lost status as a collective institution
D. secretaries are appointed at the president's sole discretion

Help would be very much appreciated! Thank you! <3

Answer 1

Correct answer is D). While contemplated in the law secretaries are not mandated but it is very true they serve at the pleasure of the president; that is the president can hire or fire them at will, with some input from the Senate (via confirmation hearings).
