Answer 1

The Supreme Court is more likely to hear cases that involve significant constitutional issues, federal law, or matters of national importance.

Among the options provided, the case the Supreme Court would most likely hear is:

D. a federal case involving national security and the Constitutional powers of the president during times of emergency.

This option involves constitutional interpretation and national security, which are key areas of interest for the Supreme Court. The other cases, while they may be important, do not necessarily involve the same level of national significance or constitutional issues that are typically addressed by the Supreme Court.
