what is the role of the supreme court?
to interpret and apply the law
to vote on laws proposed by congress
to write and pass new laws
to advise the president on constitutional matters
The Supreme Court of the United States is part of the judicial branch. Its main role is to interpret the law (including the Constitution) and apply it in cases. Voting on laws proposed by Congress is done by Congress members, writing and passing new laws is the legislative branch's (Congress) role, and advising the president on constitutional matters is not a core role of the Supreme Court. So the correct option is the one stating "to interpret and apply the law".
