Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the passage: it says Judge Carswell was proposed for the U.S. Supreme Court, and Congress heard testimonies about his nomination. Friedan’s testimony was about opposing his appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court (since the other option, a case involving Mrs. Ida Phillips, isn’t mentioned in the provided passage context about this testimony).

The passage states Judge Carswell was nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court, and Friedan’s testimony was about this nomination. The option "a case involving Mrs. Ida Phillips" has no support here, while "the U.S. Supreme Court" relates to his appointment to it.

Answer:

the U.S. Supreme Court
