a it limits the president to two terms in office
b it limits the number of members that can be appointed to a presidents cabinet
c it allows congress to collect income taxes
d it mandates that the president and vice - president must come from different states

Explanation:

The 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951. Before this amendment, there was a tradition (not a constitutional rule) that presidents served at most two terms (started by George Washington). After Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to four terms (due to the special circumstances of the Great Depression and World War II), there was a push to make the two - term limit a constitutional rule. This amendment specifically addresses the president's term limit.
Option B: There is no amendment that limits the number of cabinet members. The president has the power to appoint cabinet members (with Senate approval), and the size of the cabinet can change over time based on the needs of the government.
Option C: The 16th Amendment allows Congress to collect income taxes.
Option D: The 12th Amendment mandates that the president and vice - president must come from different states (in case of a tie in the Electoral College).

Answer:

A. It limits the president to two terms in office
