    option c: Preemption

    Explanation:

    preemption can simply be defined as the rule of law that proclaims the federal law and the constitution as the supreme law in all the land so therefore if there is a case whereby there is a conflict between a federal and a state law, the federal law will be in absolute control and this will render the state law to be void.

    there are two primary occasion that will warrant preemption they are where clearly, federal law preempts state or local law, and also where preemption is implied. different kind of preemption can also be said to be express preemption, implied preemption, field preemption, conflict preemption and frustration of purpose preemption.
