Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 129 provides that "The Supreme Court shall be a court of record" with all the powers of such a court, including the power to punish for contempt of itself. Its judgments and proceedings are kept as permanent records of evidentiary value that cannot be questioned when produced in any court. Article 215 makes every High Court a court of record in the same way; nothing in the Constitution makes the Supreme Court a revenue, land-law or circuit court.
