Answer: A. judicial activism

Step-by-step explanation:

Judicial activism is a philosophy used to make decisions in court whereby judges make decisions by allowing the personal views that they have guide such decisions in court.

In such cases, the court considers the implications of its decisions on the society when making decisions. Therefore, the Supreme Court is willing to alter a public policy as the question states.
