The answer that best defines the power given to the Supreme Court in regard to original and appellate jurisdiction is **B. Complete jurisdiction in all cases**.
The Supreme Court has both original jurisdiction and appellate jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction refers to cases the Supreme Court can hear first, such as those involving ambassadors or when a state is a party. Appellate jurisdiction refers to cases that come to the Supreme Court on appeal from lower courts. However, it's important to note that while the Supreme Court has the authority to hear a wide range of cases, it primarily serves as an appellate court.
