The correct answer is C) Senate.

According to the Constitution of the United States, the Senate remove government officials from office on grounds of impeachment.

The Constitution of the United States grants the House of Representatives the power to impeach an official, but it is the Senate the only court for impeachment trials.

Article II, section 4 of the United States Constitution clearly says that not only the President but the vice president and civil officers of the government are subjected to impeachment to be removed from office in the case of bribery, treason, and other types of crimes.
