The correct answer is B) original and appellate.

The other options of the question were A) executive and appellate. C) legislative and original. D) original and executive.

In terms of jurisdiction of the Supreme Court has original and appellate jurisdictions regarding federal law issues.

In the United States, the Supreme Court can be the first to hear one case and also has appellate jurisdiction to hear appeals from another low court. Basically what the Supreme Court do here is not to revise the entire case, but the parts in which the first court could have done some mistakes.
