Answer 1

Answer: Option(c) is correct

Explanation:

Concurrent jurisdiction between federal court and state court displays having a matter on particular case even though systems are different from each other i.e.- Federal and state court system. More than one court is involved in hearing of case.

According to the question, case of injury caused to Jack (who is from North Carolina) through product of Inferior company (which is South Carolina based company) determines concurrent jurisdiction of state government and federal government.

Other options are incorrect because state and federal courts do not persist exclusive jurisdiction or non-jurisdiction as per question's case.Thus, the correct option is option(c).
