Which explains a difference between an original case and appellate case that the Supreme Court hears?

In an original case, the Supreme Court hears the dispute first, without it having been decided by a lower court. In an appellate case, the Court reviews a decision that a lower court has already made. Therefore, the correct choice is “An appellate case has been heard by a lower court, while an original case has not.”
