Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
A justiciable provision is one that is legally enforceable and can be adjudicated upon by a court of law. In Nigeria, for example, the Fundamental Rights in Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution are justiciable, while the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy in Chapter II are largely non-justiciable, meaning courts cannot compel compliance with them. Justiciability is independent of the amendment procedure or which branch is affected.
