Answer: c. ​Canada, the United States, or both.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Quest Inc., a U.S. firm, and Real Treks, Ltd., a Canadian firm, enter into a contract that does not have a forum-selection or choice-of-law clause. Litigation between Quest and Real Treks involving this contract may occur in​

a. ​an online forum only.

b. ​an international, United Nations tribunal only.

c. ​Canada, the United States, or both.

d. ​Canada or the United States, but not both.

A choice of law clause means that the law of a particular jurisdiction will be used to govern a dispute that occurs without taking into consideration where the dispute take place and a forum clause has to do with the selection of venue for a case or litigation.

In this case, Quest Inc., a U.S. firm, and Real Treks, Ltd., a Canadian firm, enter into a contract which does not have a forum selection or choice-of-law clause thereby litigation can take place in Canada, the United States, or both.
