• A. State v. Sewell
• B. Cannabis Seizure
• C. Written Warning
• D. Public Servant

Answer: (D)

A person who works for the government is described as a public servant. This term covers anyone who holds a government position or performs official duties on behalf of federal, state, or local authorities, including employees and officers who serve the public trust. The key idea is the relationship to the government and the public interest, rather than a private-sector role.

That’s why this option is the best fit: it directly names the type of person who serves in government. The other options refer to things rather than people—a case name, a seizure action, and a disciplinary document—so they don’t describe someone serving in government.
