The correct answer is C. This is because:
Judicial Power refers to the general authority or power given to the judiciary (courts) to hear and decide cases, settle disputes, and administer justice according to law. It includes interpreting laws and applying them to specific cases. It also covers all court functions, not just reviewing constitutionality. A good example is "a court sentencing someone found guilty of theft"
However, Judicial Review is the specific constitutional power of the judiciary to examine laws, executive actions, or administrative decisions and determine whether they conform to the constitution. If they violate the constitution, courts can declare them null and void. For example: A court striking down a law that violates fundamental rights is exercising judicial review.
The answer is correct. The option C best conform with the question. While judicial power is the general authority of the judiciary to interpret laws, settle dispute and administer a broad judicial activities, Judicial review on the other hand is an aspect of the JUDICIAL POWER and oriented towards checking the conformity and legality of the legislative and executive actions with the constitution.
