Answer:

B. Not likely to have jurisdiction over the case is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the US, A state court can have jurisdiction over the case in which there is some connection to the state. The majority of civil and criminal cases are handled by the state courts. State courts apply state laws to decide cases. They are common law cases. The state's constitution and legislation's are binding on them, if the need arises they also take the federal court into account. The decisions of the lower courts can be challenged in high courts.
