B
The system of federal courts and a Supreme Court may give the judicial branch multiple opportunities to interpret the Constitution.
C
The system of federal courts and a Supreme Court force the judicial branch to answer to the executive branch.
D
The system of federal courts and a Supreme Court give the judicial branch only one opportunity to interpret the Constitution.

Explanation

Cases can move through the federal court system and may eventually reach the Supreme Court. At different stages, judges can interpret constitutional questions, so this structure may give the judicial branch multiple opportunities to interpret the Constitution. It does not make the judiciary answer to either Congress or the president.
