The correct answer is D. to ensure freedom from control by elected officials. Federal judges are appointed for life to ensure their independence and to protect them from political influence or pressure from elected officials. This helps to maintain the separation of powers and ensures that judges can make impartial decisions based on the law, rather than being swayed by political considerations or popular opinion.
