Solution

The correct option is A Supreme Court

Article 13 of the Indian Constitution provides for invalidity of laws that are inconsistent with Fundamental Rights. The supreme court has the power to review legislative and administrative actions and declare them ultra vires(outside the scope of law) if they are inconsistent with the constitution.
