Answer:

c. made a contract in State

Explanation:

Jurisdiction is the ability of a court to sue a person and ask him to come to court. Of a court does not have a jurisdiction on a person they will not be able to issue a judgement on that person.

Long arm jurisdiction is one that enables a court prosecute a person that does not reside in the state.

However the person must have sufficient minimum contact in the state to enable the state prosecute him.

For example if a person makes a contract in a state and violates that contract, the state can prosecute him even if he lives in another state.
