The correct answer is C
presidential custom of submitting the names of prospective appointees for approval to senators from the states in which the appointees are to work.

Otherwise it refers to the unwritten rule by  house senators to defer to a senator from which state a presidential nominee come from. For this reason presidents often prefer to work closely with the two senators from which state a nominee come from.
