Answer:
The correct response is Option A: The Court is not required to hear the case.
Explanation:
The Supreme Court is not obligated to hear particular cases. A citizen can make an appeal (asking for a writ of certiorari) to the Supreme Court justices to ask if they will hear a case, but they are not obligated to hear each and every case presented to them. The justices and their aids will review the cases presented and then vote whether to hear them or not. They usually evaluate cases on the basis of their being some constitutional implication in the potential decision. Four of the nine justices must vote to hear the case for it to move forward and at least five of the justices have to vote on it.
