One of the options in the question is missing. However the correct answer is - --

the case is being heard for the first time.

Explanation:

In common legal system, the original jurisdiction of a court defines its power to hear any case for the first time. It is opposite to the appellate jurisdiction where a higher court can review the lower court court's decision. In other words, a court can hear a fresh case.

In the context, Stan wishes to file a lawsuit against a Texas company, Jalisco Farm Supply in the Lowa trial court. The court enjoys the power of original jurisdiction as the court will hear the case for the first time.
