The correct answer is option 3 - Five. The Supreme Court has the authority to issue five types of writs.

1. Habeas Corpus - This writ is used to bring a person who has been unlawfully detained or imprisoned before the court.

2. Mandamus - This writ is issued to a lower court, public authority, or government official to compel them to perform their duty.

3. Certiorari - This writ is used to review a decision of a lower court and ensure that there has been no miscarriage of justice.

4. Prohibition - This writ is issued to a lower court to prevent it from exceeding its jurisdiction or acting in excess of its powers.

5. Quo Warranto - This writ is used to question a person`s right to hold a public office or position.

These writs are powerful tools to protect fundamental rights and ensure the fair administration of justice.
