A Correct answer
Explanation

The Supreme Court restored judicial review power in Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala (1973) by establishing the 'basic structure' doctrine. This ruling overturned the earlier Golak Nath verdict and allowed Parliament to amend any part of the Constitution (including Fundamental Rights) provided it did not destroy the Constitution's basic structure. High Courts and District Courts do not have constitutional interpretation authority at this level.
