The first alternative is correct (A).

The choice of Supreme Court is a prerogative of the US president, which must be endorsed by the Senate. Whenever a vacancy occurs, regardless of the reason, this is the procedure to be adopted, since it is the form determined by the US Constitution.

It should be noted that even though it is an indication of the president, the chosen judge must be technical and honorable and must act with complete independence.
