With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". bottom of the resulting, much-reduced guidelines range. Having been sentenced to 195 months imprisonment rather than the 262-327 months imprisonment he would have been without the downward departure, Clark is the beneficiary of a favorable guidelines calculation. The record clearly indicates that the district court departed downward because it found that the criminal history category significantly overstated the seriousness of defendant’s criminal history. Thus, the district court implicitly considered the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), specifically, the history and characteristics of the defendant and the need for the sentence imposed to reflect the seriousness of the offense. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(l)-(2)(A); United States v. Scott, 426 F.3d 1324, 1329-30 (11th Cir.2005) (<HOLDING>). The reasonableness of Clark’s sentence is

A: holding that a district court does not have to state on the record that it considered every  3553a factor
B: holding a sentencing court is not obligated to expressly weigh on the record each of the factors set out in  3553a
C: holding that nothing in booker or elsewhere requires the district court to state on the record that it has explicitly considered each of the  3553a factors or to discuss each of the  3553a factors
D: holding that the district court is not required to state on the record that it has explicitly considered each of the  3553a factors or to discuss each of the  3553a factors
