Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the three kinds of Supreme Court jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court exercises original, appellate, and advisory jurisdiction under different articles.
Step 2: Eliminate the wrong kinds.
Appellate jurisdiction covers appeals from lower courts, advisory jurisdiction covers the President's reference under Article 143, and PIL is a procedural route, not a separate jurisdiction.
Step 3: Confirm the correct jurisdiction.
Article 131 gives the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over disputes involving the Government of India and one or more States.
