Most cases come to the Supreme Court "on appeal from lower courts".
Option: D
Explanation:
The Constitution stipulates that both original and appeal authority is vested on the Supreme Court. Original authority means the Supreme Court is the first one to hear a lawsuit, and only a Court.
The Constitution restricts original cases of jurisdiction to those concerning state disputes or conflicts that occur among ambassadors and other strong-ranking ministers.Appellate jurisdiction ensures the Court has power to appeal lower court decisions. Much of the cases which the Supreme Court handles are lower court appeals.
