Bishops are chosen by the pope.

To become a Catholic bishop you must be a priest and you must be ordained as a bishop by any member of the clergy of bishop or higher, such as a Patriarch or Cardinal. You must of course, be a good priest, leader and pastor, well adept at leading your flock. You must be "a good pastor of souls and teacher of the Faith." While a bishop or cardinal etc. may ordain a bishop, it is essentially up to the Pope who becomes a bishop.

Who can odain a bishop?

The term for the 'ordination' of a bishop is the CONSECRATION of a bishop. This is done, as it has been since the start of the Church 2000 years ago, by the laying on of hands by other bishops co-ordinated by the archbishop. In the UK, Anglican bishops are appointed by Her Majesty the Queen, as supreme governor under Christ of the Church of England, at the recommendation of the Church and government. Archbishops are appointed as well in th same way, but are simply an administrative role rather than another 'layer' of ordination. Therefore bot archbishops AND bishops are permitted to consecrate a new bishop, but only under the authority of the queen. I believe Roman Catholic bishops are consecrated in the same way, but under the authority of the pope.
