ruling after considering the arguments.
C The court is likely to refer the case to a higher court
rather than hear it.

B.  The court is authorized to hear the case and make a  ruling after considering the arguments.

Explanation:

The jurisdiction in legal terms refers to the geographical coverage or reach of a case to be tried, heard, and decide on the matter. This means that cases of any legal matter are tried according to their jurisdictional situations.

In cases of a court that has jurisdiction over a legal dispute, the court is at the liberty to hear and decide on the matter. The court can hear the case and make a ruling after all arguments are presented. The jurisdiction allows the court to act on the case as it likes. This means that the court has the right to make any ruling regarding the case as it has jurisdiction over it.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
