Explanation / Answer
Answer - Option D - i.e. a federal court cannot take jurisdiction because the amount in controversy is less than $75,000.
Explanation:
Federal courts have jurisdiction over cases in which the parties are not the citizens of the same state and in which the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. In the given case the Sandy and Carl are the citizens of two different states but the amount of dispute involved is only $15,000. So the federal court can not take jurisdiction over the case.
