A.) exercising its check on the power of the legislature.

When the Supreme Court declares a law unconstitutional, it is exercising its power of judicial review. This power allows the court to review and potentially invalidate laws or government actions that it deems to be in violation of the Constitution. This serves as a crucial check on the power of the legislative branch, ensuring that laws passed by the legislature comply with the principles and provisions outlined in the Constitution.
