The correct answer would be D. as any person, now matter how wealthy or powerful is held accountable if he or she breaks a law. Above the doors of the US Supreme Court stands an engraving which says: Equal Justice Under Law. This means that no matter who someone is, what his position is, what his background is, everyone is the same in the eyes of the law and justice.
