Answer:

a. the court's examination and judgment of the constitutionality of the actions of the legislative and executive branches

Explanation:

Judicial review is the Supreme Court's ability to examine and review laws (in the local, state and federal level) and acts of the executive and legislative branches in order to determine whether they are constitutional or not. This authority of the Judicial is not stated in the Constitution, but it was affirmed in the Marbury v. Madison case (1803), in which the Supreme Court struck down a law passed by Congress for being unconstitutional.
