The Vice President
The Speaker of the House

The correct answer is: The President

The commander in chief of the military is the highest ranking person in charge of the United States Armed Forces. This position is held by the President of the United States, making option B the correct answer. The Secretary of Defense, option A, is responsible for managing the Department of Defense and advising the President on military matters, but they are not the commander in chief. The Vice President, option C, may assume this role if the President is unable to fulfill their duties, but it is not their primary responsibility. The Speaker of the House, option D, is the leader of the House of Representatives and does not hold any military authority.
