Answer
Exam answer
(c) Original.
Explanation
There is no "Consultative Jurisdiction" — the word is invented, which is the signal that the sentence needs correcting. Matters of revenue come before the High Court DIRECTLY, in the first instance, so they fall under its Original Jurisdiction, along with cases of Fundamental Rights, wills, divorce, admiralty and election disputes. Note also that the Advisory Jurisdiction belongs to the SUPREME Court alone — High Courts do not advise the President.
In words
Original.
