Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
EA) Parties to a contract often have the ability to specify which jurisdiction's laws will govern their agreement. This is a common practice in international contracts to provide certainty and predictability for the parties involved.E) While it's not always the case that a judgment must be heard all over again to be enforced in another jurisdiction, there are processes in place to recognize and enforce foreign judgments without a full retrial of the facts. These processes vary by jurisdiction but generally involve proving the validity of the original judgment and ensuring it doesn't contravene public policy in the enforcing jurisdiction.
