What can the ordered arrangement of courts in the judiciary be called?

Correct answer: Hierarchy of courts

Answer: A, hierarchy of courts. A hierarchy is an ordered arrangement in which institutions or levels are placed from lower to higher authority. In the judiciary, lower or subordinate courts generally deal with cases at the lower level, High Courts occupy a higher level within their jurisdiction, and the Supreme Court is the national apex court. This structure helps determine where a case may begin, where an appeal may go, and which court has authority over a particular matter. B is wrong because an electoral list records voters or election-related information. C is wrong because a budget table presents financial figures. D is wrong because a sports table ranks teams or players. The hierarchy does not mean that every case automatically travels through every court; the route depends on law and the type of case. Memory cue: lower court → High Court → Supreme Court, where the law permits an appeal.
