Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Cases involving more than $1 million are not part of the original jurisdiction of the U.S. Supreme Court. The court has appellate jurisdiction in such cases, meaning it can review the decisions made by lower courts. The other options listed (A, B, and D) are all examples of cases that fall under the court's original jurisdiction.
