The correct answer is C)a state trial court.

Step-by-step explanation:

A state trial court has broad jurisdiction, therefore some individual citizen cases are to be held there. Among those cases are the ones that deals with broken contracts. examples of these courts are the New York Supreme Courts and the California Superior Courts.

The correct answer is " a state trial court". Since the dispute is over a contract between two people in the same city, it is very likely that the case will be considered as local and as part of a state court jurisdiction. State courts handle the majority of the civil cases in the US, and since it is not mentioned that the case has been handle in another court, it is more likely thay a state trial court would handle this dispute.
