Okay which one is it? I know it's between A and D. The others are just crap options. But I dunno... I put D because I was thinking they are acting in ultra vires which is violatiing the independance of the three arms of government. Something like that...

According to my teacher (although we argued in regards to this question considerably) the fact that the executive can implement decisions independent of the judiciary and consequently with varied results is a demonstration of separation of powers rather than its violation. therefore the answer was supposed to be a. but i'm still hoping that his reasoning is flawed. lol.
