Solution

The correct option is C Contempt
Contempt of court often referred to as contempt, is the offence of being disobedient to or discourteous towards a court of law and its officers in the form of behavior that opposes or defies the authority, justice, and dignity of the court. The Supreme Court can punish for the contempt of court if a person or authority makes an attempt to lower its authority.
