Respuesta :

Answer: time of service

Explanation:

Incumbency as it is used in the excerpt means "time of service". Incumbency in the office of the president means that President Kennedy will hold the position as the presidency during his tenure until someone else is elected during another election when his tenure ends who will then take over from him.

Therefore, the correct option is D "time of service".
