Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Those in which the Union or a federal entity is a party
- Step 1: Article 109, I, defines federal jurisdiction by the entity involved. Step 2. Union, autarchies and federal public companies are included, with exceptions such as bankruptcy and labour. Answer: Those in which the Union or a federal entity is a party. Why not the others: private parties from different states, state governments and the mere application of federal law do not decide it.
