The correct answer is option c. "He succeeded in packing the Supreme Court with justices who supported his plans". One of the most famous failures of Franklin Roosevelt presidency (1933-1945) was the Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937. This was known as the court-packing bill, where most of the candidates of the president lost, which resulted in Roosevelt having a very hostile Supreme Court regarding his political plans.
