The correct response is: cases that are controversial and deal with constitutional law.

The Supreme Court primarily hears cases that involve significant legal questions, interpretations of the Constitution, or important matters of federal law. While it does hear appeals from lower courts, not all cases that are appealed make it to the Supreme Court; the Court selects a limited number of cases to hear, often those that have broader implications or involve conflicting decisions from lower courts.
