The 'case or controversy' requirement ensures that federal courts operate solely within the limits of judicial power outlined in Article III. This prevents courts from issuing advisory opinions and requires tangible disputes between adverse parties. The other options describe concepts such as hypothetical scenarios or non-justiciable issues, which do not directly address the constitutional limitation on federal judicial power. Additionally, federal courts do not have the authority to decide questions of state law without some connection to federal law or jurisdiction.
