Explanation:

The cartoon relates to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "court - packing" plan, which was his attempt to reorganize the Supreme Court (adding more justices to get favorable rulings for his New Deal programs). The other options: Congressional attempts to bypass separation of powers or undermine state sovereignty don't match the context of the court - packing plan, and FDR didn't refuse to cooperate with state governments. So the correct option is about FDR's attempt to reorganize the Supreme Court.

Answer:

D. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's attempt to reorganize the Supreme Court.
