The correct answer is:

C. The Georgia Supreme Court hears cases that challenge the enforcement of laws.

This option accurately reflects the role of the judicial branch in interpreting laws by adjudicating cases that may involve disputes over the application, validity, or constitutionality of state laws. The judicial branch does not have the power to amend or veto laws, nor does it review proposed laws before enactment.
