B). Holds that the Supreme Court possesses the authority to rule acts of Congress unconstitutional.

Explanation:

The doctrine of judicial review asserts that the courts of the United States have the authority to take actions against any regulations(administrative or statutory) that violate the abiding laws or provisions as displayed in the US constitution. The power of 'judicial review' to the Supreme Court is considered as the milestone decision on Marbury vs. Madison case as it gave the authority to the 'supreme court' to review and rule the acts of Congress unconstitutional. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
