Ah, the age-old question of civil lawsuit basics. I'd go with B, just to be safe. Don't want to mess up on something so fundamental, you know? Although, I did hear a rumor that the exam committee likes to sneak in some trick questions...

Hmm, I'm a bit uncertain about this one. I think C might be correct, but I'm not 100% sure. The initial filing doesn't need all the details, right? Gotta love these tricky legal questions!

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is B. Civil lawsuits always start with the filing of a pleading, and it needs to be in the right jurisdiction. This is basic legal knowledge.
