The correct document used to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case is a Petition for Writ of Certiorari. This document asks the Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision and is the primary method by which cases are selected for the Court's consideration. Option B, a Petition to Proceed in Forma Pauperis, is a request to waive court fees and is not specific to Supreme Court cases. Option C, a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, is a request to challenge unlawful detention and is also not specific to Supreme Court cases. Option D, a Petition for Hearing, is too vague and could refer to a request for a hearing in any court, not just the Supreme Court.
