    The answer is: C) Deny the motion because ABC Inc. is a resident of Delaware

    Explanation:

    For purposes of diversity of citizenship, ABC Inc. is a resident of both Delaware and New York.

    James can sue ABC Inc. in Delaware since both of them are residents of the state so jurisdiction applies. The court will deny ABC's motion to dismiss due to the fact that ABC is a resident of that state.
