Answer:

D. Five of the nine justices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supreme Court´s decisions are voted and passed on a majority basis. If there are nine judges, so five judges must vote in favor of an opinion. The sentences reflect the opinion of the majority, though sometimes they´re unanimous. A minority, dissenting opinion may be written, too.
