C. pleas.
D. claims. 

Sis and me thought it is jurisdiction.
Are we correct?

      

I agree.

Yes, you are correct. Traffic courts in states, cities, and townships have limited jurisdiction. Option B, "jurisdiction," is the correct answer.

Yes, you are correct. Traffic courts are courts of limited jurisdiction.

To determine the correct answer, you can break down the options and understand their meanings:

A. Appeal: refers to the process of challenging a decision made by a lower court, so it is not directly related to the initial jurisdiction of the traffic court.

B. Jurisdiction: refers to the authority or power of a court to hear and decide a case. Traffic courts have limited jurisdiction, meaning they only handle specific types of cases, such as traffic violations.

C. Pleas: refers to the defendant's formal response to the charges brought against them. While pleas are part of the proceedings in traffic courts, they are not the defining characteristic of these courts.

D. Claims: generally refers to legal demands or requests for compensation. Traffic courts primarily deal with traffic violations and related offenses, not civil claims.

By process of elimination, it can be concluded that the correct answer is indeed B. Jurisdiction.
