Answer 1

The correct option is C Judiciary

"Master of the Roster’ refers to the privilege of the Chief Justice to constitute Benches to hear cases. This privilege was emphasised in November 2017, when a Constitution Bench, led by the Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, declared that “the Chief Justice is the master of the roster and he alone has the prerogative to constitute the Benches of the Court and allocate cases to the Benches so constituted.”
