A court that may only hear cases involving certain subject matter is called a court of ________ jurisdiction.

Original
Limited
Appellate
General

The correct answer is: Limited

A court of Original jurisdiction is incorrect as this type of court may hear any case as long as it is the first time the case is being heard. A court of Appellate jurisdiction is incorrect as this type of court only deals with cases on appeal from a lower court. A court of General jurisdiction is incorrect as this type of court has the authority to hear a wide variety of cases, including those of a limited jurisdiction. A court that may only hear cases involving certain subject matter is called a court of Limited jurisdiction. This type of court has specific limitations on the types of cases it can hear, often based on factors such as geographical location or the type of dispute involved. Cases that fall outside of the court's limited jurisdiction would need to be heard in a different court. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
