Explanation:

After parties petition the Supreme Court and justices debate case importance, the next step in the Court's procedures is that the justices vote to select which cases they will formally review. The president, Congress, and chief justice alone do not have this case-selection authority.

Answer:

B. Justices vote on which cases they will review.
