Solution

The correct option is A Judicial Review
The Supreme Court can declare a law as invalid if it violates any of the fundamental rights or basic principles of the Constitution. Another power that the Supreme Court can exercise is to punish someone for ‘contempt of court’. Any person who disrespects or disobeys the Court can be punished after examining the charges. Court of Record means that all judgements and orders made in the courts are carefully recorded. These judgements can be produced in any court as ‘precedents’.
