This is an American Government question on the 2008 Civics Test, testing whether an applicant understands the structure of American government rather than just current officeholders. If you're unsure, focus on remembering "give up loyalty to other countries" first — it's the answer USCIS lists as the primary accepted response.
This is question 53 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
