• C. Both (A) & (B)
• D. Neither (A) nor (B)

The Correct Option is A

Jurisdiction of a Civil Court is determined by the averments made in the plaint at the time of filing. The court looks at the statements and claims in the plaint to decide its jurisdiction, not the contents of the written statement.
