D Correct answer
Explanation

To endorse means to publicly approve, support, or recommend something. Doctors supporting anti-smoking legislation is an example of public approval. 'Endured' means suffered through, 'resorted to' means turned to as a last option, and 'suggested' is too weak - none convey the sense of formal public support.
