The appointments were made quite judiciously.

The correct answer is D. impartially.

The word “judiciously” means “in a fair and sensible way.” When something is done judiciously, it is done with care and thought, and without

bias or prejudice. In the context of the question, the appointments were made quite judiciously means that they were made in a fair and impartial way, without any favoritism or discrimination.

The other options are not correct because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the word “judiciously.” Option A, “legally,” means “in accordance with the law.” Option B, “reasonably,” means “in a way that is based on reason or good judgment.” Option C, “lawfully,” means “in a way that is permitted by law.” While all of these things are important considerations when making appointments, they are not the only factors that should be taken into account. In order to be made judiciously, appointments should also be made in a fair and impartial way.
