Answer:

c. in rem jurisdiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jurisdiction is defined as the power or authority to decide legal cases.

Jurisdiction refers to the practical authority granted to a legal body to administer justice within a defined field of responsibility.

Federal jurisdiction refers to the legal scope of the government's powers in the U.S.A.

In rem jurisdiction refers to the power a court that it may exercise over property against a person over whom the court does not have in personam jurisdiction.

Indiana has in rem jurisdiction.
