D is the closest to the correct (or all encompassing) reason for the failure of Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg.
The Rebel soldiers had to travel across a field that had a variety of fences (think farmland) on it. This meant that there were a number of funnel points where the Union soldiers could direct the fire, creating kill zones.
Additionally, the Rebel artillery was not very good and did not soften the Union lines to enable the Rebel soldiers to break through upon making it across the farm fields.
The president has no power over the fedral reserve ... and the state dparntment is controlled by the president
