    C. The Supremacy clause

    Explanation:

    The supremacy clause stated that in case there is a conflict between the state legislation and the Federal legislation, the federal legislation will always overpower the state legislation.

    From the case above:

    - Brad obtains a permit from the Federal government to fish in that area.

    - The State banned Brad to fish in that area.

    By contradicting the Feds, California actually violates the supremacy clause. Brad should've been allowed to fish in that area.
