Answer:

D). Yes, because the woman was served in State B.

Explanation:

According to the details provided, Yes, state B possesses the authority to operate the personal jurisdiction congruously as she was in the service of State B. As per the laws, <u>the court has the authority of personal jurisdiction over the accused in case he/she is willfully present there and set out in that state despite the fact that he/she doesn't have anyone known in that state</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer due to the liberty of 'diverse jurisdiction' and the law stating that in case the defendant is voluntarily available and summoned by the law officer there.
