Answer: A. The case is being heard for the first time.

Explanation: when a court has original jurisdiction, according to common law systems, the e said court has the power to hear the case for the first time. It refers to the court which first hears the case. Having the authority to try a case, it is the court's authority to hear the claim/case in the first instance, rather than on appeal.
