Answer:

substantial business between Jean and Honi through Honi's website.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jurisdiction of a court is the limit of its authority in in various proceedings such as cases, appeals, suits, and so on.

Normally state courts have jurisdiction when transactions occurred physically within the state.

However in this scenario where Honi's website can be accessed by residents of that state, a suit can be brought against her if there is substantial business between Jean and Honi through Honi's website.
