Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Supremacy of law is one of the meanings Dicey gave to the rule of law. He explained it through three ideas: the supremacy of regular law as opposed to arbitrary power, equality before the law, and the predominance of the legal spirit. Wide executive discretion standing above the law is what Dicey said the rule of law excludes, and legal transplant is a concept of comparative law, not part of his formulation.
