Not sure I'm a competent person to comment on this (though I did get a decent pass - miraculously!). I hated EC Law - very dry subject!
Thanks to Kempie, I'd say it's 'C'. But the question isn't drafted very well.
I think 'A' is wrong because EU/EC law can and often is directly effective (direct effect) with UK Courts.
'B' is partly right - the ECJ 'can' be an appeals court, but does not have to be, and often isn't.
'C' is most right. The ECJ is often used to comment on not so much the 'meaning' of a UK statute, but it's compatibility and meaning of the statute within the context of EU/EC Law - and the parties to a dispute can request an ECJ hearing before a lower court (including the CA , CoS, or HOL), before that lower court makes their ruling. So, I'm pretty confident that 'C' is correct.
