Hint-
 India is a democratic country. It works under a three tier system that is legislative, executive and judiciary. Legislative is a lawmaking body, executive works in execution of laws and judiciary works when law is broken by someone.

Complete answer:
Two important features of the Indian judicial system are independent and integrated. The Indian judiciary system is formerly known as the colonial judiciary.
Its main function is to give justice to the victim. Indian judiciary is an independent judiciary. This means that no one can make decisions about it. It is free to work according to them. Indian judiciary is also an integrated judiciary. This means that there is one supreme court. It has some principles which are followed by lower courts like high courts.
In India, there is a hierarchy of courts. The Supreme Court then High Court then subordinate courts. There are two types of subordinate courts- civil and criminal. Last is the revenue court.
Thus the correct option is D.

Additional information:
The posts of judicial commissioners and additional judicial commissioners existed before independence and continued till the enactment of CrPC in 1973 in article 50 of the constitution of India.

Note: The Supreme court is on top of the judiciary system so it is also known as the Apex court. The current chief justice of the supreme court of India is Sharad Arvind Bobde since 18 November 2019. Each state has a High court and the chief judges of the High court are appointed by the governor of that state.
