Respuesta :

concurrent jurisdiction

The correct answer is the following: option B. If a person living in one state sues a person living in another state for a sum exceeding $75.000, they can choose to originate the case in the state or federal court; this is an example of concurrent jurisdiction. Concurrent jurisdiction is the ability of two different courts to exercise judicial review on the same subject, at the same time. It is a jurisdiction that exists when two courts have the power to hear the same case.
