Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Article 143(1), the President may refer to the Supreme Court a question of law or fact that "has arisen or is likely to arise, which is of such a nature and of such public importance that it is expedient to obtain the opinion of the court". That option states the constitutional test. Article 143 does not make a reference depend on advice from the Prime Minister or the Cabinet; ministerial advice under Article 74 is a separate matter.
