a conflict between two different states
the impeachment of a government official
a case in which the consequence is capital punishment
a civil case involving two or more people in washington, d.c.

Explanation:

The U.S. Constitution grants the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in cases involving disputes between two or more states. This is a key aspect of its role in resolving inter - state conflicts. Impeachment is a political process not under the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction. Capital punishment cases and civil cases in Washington, D.C. do not fall under the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction category as defined by the Constitution.

Answer:

a conflict between two different states
