case.

Explanation:

The case of Marbury v. Madison is a landmark Supreme Court case. The most significant result was the establishment of judicial review, which is the power of the Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality of laws. The first option states this, while the second is incorrect (the ruling didn't narrow federal power), the third is about who made the ruling (not the most significant result), and the fourth is about not hearing the case (not the main significant outcome).

Answer:

The ruling gave the Supreme Court the power to determine the constitutionality of laws.
