C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is C because judicial review in India is limited by the Constitution itself - the Court cannot strike down constitutional amendments (except basic structure), and its powers are derived from the Constitution rather than being inherent. Unlike in some systems where courts have broad inherent powers, Indian courts exercise judicial review only to uphold constitutional supremacy.
