Which are the three court systems?

• A. Supreme, Appellate, Circuit
• B. Municipal, County, State
• C. Federal, State, Local
• D. Trial, Appellate, Supreme

Answer: (A)

The three-tier structure of the judiciary in this context uses circuit courts as the trial level, appellate courts to review decisions, and the Supreme Court as the highest court. This makes the trio circuit, appellate, and supreme the correct selection because each level serves a distinct role: circuit courts handle trials, appellate courts examine trial-court decisions for legal errors, and the Supreme Court has the final, authoritative say and sets binding precedent. Other options describe government levels or use terms that don’t align with how this course names the court hierarchy.
