Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, option (c) is the most accurate answer. The opinion in a Supreme Court case is more significant because it informs others of the Court's interpretation of the laws and guides their decisions. The opinion includes the reasoning behind the Court's decision and provides an in-depth analysis of the legal issues at hand. It sets a precedent that future courts and lower courts can look to when deciding similar cases. The decision, on the other hand, refers to the specific outcome of the case, determining the winning and losing parties and the immediate impact of the ruling. While the decision is important, it is the opinion that carries the weight of the Court's legal analysis and interpretation.
