    D) Sue can sue Jerry and bring the case to Iowa federal court as this is a case that involves diversity of citizenship.

    Explanation:

    Diversity of citizenship means that the parties involved in a lawsuit are citizens of different states (within the US) or are citizens of different countries. If a company is involved in a lawsuit, its citizenship is defined as where the company was incorporated or where does it carry its normal business operations.

    In this case since Sue is a citizen of the state of New York and Jerry is a citizen of the state of Iowa (diversity of citizenship applies), Sue can choose to sue Jerry in a federal court since the citizens of two different states are involved.
