Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 131 gives the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over specified disputes between the Union and States and between two or more States. The dispute must concern a question of law or fact on which the existence or extent of a legal right depends, subject to the constitutional limitations. Both kinds of dispute listed in the question therefore qualify; the Court’s jurisdiction is not limited to appeals.
