{'supreme court': [12, 1, 4, 14], 'exclusive jurisdiction': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'exclusive power': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'advisory jurisdiction': [1, 1, 1, 0], 'fundamental rights': [13, 0, 7, 20], 'powers': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'power': [24, 3, 21, 61], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'law': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'own judgment': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1: The statement is true. The Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction in intergovernmental disputes. This means that the Supreme Court has the authority to settle disputes between the different levels of government in India, such as disputes between the central government and state governments.

Option 2: The statement is true. The Supreme Court has advisory jurisdiction, which means that it can provide advice or opinions to the President of India on a question of law or fact when asked for it.

Option 3: The statement is true. The Supreme Court has the power to review its own judgment or order. This means that if it feels there has been an error or injustice in its own decision, it can review the case and potentially overturn its previous judgment.

Option 4: The statement is not true. While the Supreme Court has the power to issue writs, it is not the exclusive authority for this. The High Courts in India also have the power to issue writs to protect the fundamental rights of the people. Alert - correct answer should be "The Supreme Court does not have the exclusive power to issue writs to protect the fundamental rights of the people."
