Question

which type of jurisdiction do federal trial courts have?
○ limited
○ original
○ appelate
○ general

Explanation:

Federal trial courts (like district courts) have original jurisdiction, meaning they are the first to hear cases (including civil and criminal) that fall within their authority. Limited jurisdiction would be for courts with restricted scope (e.g., small claims). Appellate courts review lower - court decisions, and general jurisdiction (more common in state courts) covers a broad range of cases, while federal trial courts have original jurisdiction over cases within federal law, constitutional issues, etc.

Answer:

B. original
