The correct option is C.
For a supreme court to hear an appeal case, four of the nine judges must vote to accept the case. For a supreme court decision by the judges to be considered valid, a majority of justices must agree to all the contents of the court's opinion before it is publicly delivered. Justices do this by signing the opinion.
