  • A Serve as the watch-dog of the executive
  • B Enact laws
  • C Execute the laws of the land
  • D Interpret the laws
  • E Protect the interest of accused persons
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The main function of the judiciary is to interpret the laws. Courts apply the law to specific cases and clarify its meaning. Enacting laws is the function of the legislature, and executing laws is the function of the executive. While the judiciary protects the rights of accused persons, that is part of its broader role in interpreting and applying the law.
