Congress proposes and states ratify an amendment reversing a Supreme Court ruling. Which check on judicial power is illustrated?

Constitutional amendment under Article V can supersede Supreme Court constitutional interpretations by changing the governing constitutional text itself.
B
Senate cloture votes under Senate rules can permanently bind the Court's future decisions by requiring supermajorities for judicial opinions.
C
The president's line-item veto can strike portions of Supreme Court opinions, preventing the judiciary from enforcing unconstitutional reasoning.
D
States can impeach federal judges through state courts, ensuring local control over national judicial officers under the Supremacy Clause.
