What is the difference between specific jurisdiction and general jurisdiction?

Question 1 options:

a)

Specific jurisdiction imposes liability on the defendant only for specific types of claims against the defendant (such as contract claims, tort claims, etc.). General jurisdiction means the defendant is subject to general liability on any claim the plaintiff can bring.

b)

Specific jurisdiction requires the plaintiff's claims to arise out of, or relate to, the defendant's contact with the forum state. General jurisdiction means the defendant's contacts in the forum state are so substantial that they are subject to jurisdiction for claims that do not arise out of or relate to its contacts with the forum state.

c)

General jurisdiction requires the plaintiff's claims to arise out of, or relate to, the defendant's contact with the forum state. Specific jurisdiction means the defendant's contacts in the forum state are so substantial that they are subject to jurisdiction for claims that do not arise out of or relate to its contacts with the forum state.

d)

General jurisdiction requires the plaintiff to establish general liability for any claims against the defendant. Specific jurisdiction means the defendant is subject to liability on the plaintiff's claims if specific elements of the claims are proven.
