Answer:

b-The House can impeach federal officials and then the Senate would conduct the impeachment trial.

Explanation:

In the U.S., the impeachment process is the first step to remove an official from the government and it refers to the act of calling into question the integrity of a federal official action and of charging him or her with misconduct before a court of law.

The U.S. Constitution provides that it is the Legislative branch responsible for this process. Article I, Section 2 gives the House of Representatives "the sole Power of Impeachment" (meaning that they can impeach federal officials), while Article I, Section 3 gives the Senate "the sole Power to try all Impeachments", that is to say, to conduct the impeachment trial. In the impeachment trial, the public official will be convicted only if two-thirds of the senators vote in favor.
