Answer 1

c . a statute expanding the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court

Step-by-step explanation:

A statute expanding the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that Marbury was entitled to his commission, and that Madison had broken the law in failing to deliver it. But the Court said it could not have the power to compel Madison to comply, because the Judiciary Act that seemed to give it that power was itself unconstitutional.
