Answer 1

Answer: (B)

When a matter is of public importance.

When it appears to the president that a question of law or fact has arisen, or is likely to arise, which is of nature of such public importance, that it is expedient to obtain the opinion of the Supreme Court upon it, he may refer it to the Court for its consideration.

Hence, B is the correct option.
