The Supreme Court of Canada, Federal Court of Canada, and Provincial Courts all fall under the category of superior courts. These courts have jurisdiction over a wide range of cases and are the highest courts in their respective areas. Municipal Courts, Circuit Courts, and District Courts are all types of trial courts which typically have limited jurisdiction and handle less serious cases. The High Courts and National Courts mentioned in option B and C are not recognized courts in Canada. Option D includes Court of Appeal, which is a superior court, but also includes Family Courts which are trial courts with limited jurisdiction. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
