b. International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945)

Explanation:

The notion of 'minimum contacts' is a law in the United States, which states that a state can only exercise jurisdiction in the case of a defendant if there is sufficient minimum contacts between the defendant and the state in question. The issue gained popularity in the International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945) case. In this case, the shoe company which operated mainly in Missouri had some business dealings in the state of Washington. The authorities in Washington expected the company to pay unemployment taxes because of  their activities in the state. The company refused this, and so, they were taken to court. All the courts, up to the Supreme court of Washington ruled in favor of the state.

When the case was appealed in the Supreme court, the decision was that sufficient minimum contacts ought to be established before a state can establish jurisdiction of such a case, and that the conditions must satisfy 'traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice'.
