The answer is:

C. Congress is able to pass new laws, but the Supreme Court has the ability to overturn them if they violate the Constitution.

The congress is the organism that is able to pass new laws and make modifications to regulations, at the same time the Supreme Court can examine and interpretate the laws to see if they are Constitutional, and or if they are violating the rights of the people.
