The answer is D. refuse to hear the relevant cases.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court response to elite repression in cases such as the internment of Japanese-Americans in World War II or the prosecution of communists advocating the overthrow of the American government in the 1950s, was to refuse to hear the relevant case: during World War II, the United States Supreme Court upheld a decision (in a case) to exclude Japanese Americans from the West Coast Military Area, and put them in internment camps.
