D Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 226 of the Constitution, High Courts have broader writ jurisdiction than the Supreme Court. While the Supreme Court (Article 32) can issue writs only for Fundamental Rights violations, High Courts can issue writs for Fundamental Rights as well as for violation of any other legal right, including statutory rights and other legal rights. This makes option D (All of these) correct.
