You've had two blind guesses now. You're on your own. Look up "law" in a dictionary as I advised.

why are you coming to my posts if you don't have answers?

Tutors here don't help you cheat by giving you answers.

The correct answer is "d statutory officers". Statutory officers are officials whose positions are established by law, usually through statutes or legislation, rather than being explicitly mentioned or provided for in the constitution. These positions are typically required to carry out specific duties and responsibilities that are mandated by law.

To arrive at this answer, you can break down the options and eliminate the ones that are not relevant to the question.

a) Constitutional officers: These officials are explicitly mentioned or provided for in the constitution. Since the question specifically asks about officials not mentioned in the constitution, we can eliminate this option.

b) Secretaries of state: While secretaries of state may be a type of statutory officer, the question is not about a specific position but rather a general category of officials. Therefore, we can eliminate this option as it is too narrow.

c) Deputies: Deputies are individuals who assist or act on behalf of another official. They are not necessarily required by law, and the question asks for a broader category of officials. So, we can eliminate this option.

d) Statutory officers: This option refers to officials whose positions are established by law. This is the most appropriate answer because it fits the description of officials whose jobs are required by law but not provided for in the constitution.

Therefore, the correct answer is "d statutory officers".
