Choice A, diversity-of-citizenship jurisdiction, refers to a type of jurisdiction that pertains to cases involving parties from different states or countries.

Choice D, venue, refers to the specific geographic location where a court case will be heard, which is different from the overall jurisdiction granted to a court.
