For the first question, the correct answer is "D".

"A": States do not enjoy sovereign immunity from suits made by citizens from other states. This affects the Interstate Commerce Clause.

"D": Congress has the power to take away immunity when enforcing its authority under the 14th amendment, which addresses aspects of the rights of citizens.
