Explanation:

The power of appointment allows governors to extend their influence beyond the direct powers of their office. Option A is incorrect as governors can't control all state - agency actions just through appointments. Option C is more about personal gain rather than the main significance of the power. Option D is also more about personal and political - favor aspects. The main importance is the expansion of influence.

Answer:

B. Through appointments to boards and executive offices, a governor can spread his or her influence far beyond the limited powers of the governor’s office.
