Sagot :

The correct answer is a.

Petitions have increased over time, allowing you to eliminate options c and d. They are primarily accepted by writ of certiorari, which orders records from a case in a lower court to be sent to a higher court. Forma pauperis, which is when a court allows someone without sufficient funds to waive the costs of a lawyer, would not explain an increase in petitions to the Supreme Court. So, the answer is a.  

The correct answer is: increased over time and are primarily accepted by writ of certiorari
