a district court, an appeals court, and finally the Supreme Court
D
an appeals court, a district court, and finally the Supreme Court

Explanation

A case typically begins in a district court, where the facts are heard and a decision is made. If a party appeals, the case moves to an appeals court, which reviews the lower court’s decision. It may then reach the Supreme Court, the highest court. So the correct order is a district court, an appeals court, and finally the Supreme Court.
