Select the case that would clearly be under the exclusive subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts.
Breach of contract
Treason
A child custody challenge
A tort claim for injuries
Answer: treason
This is the disloyalty of a person. Such person may help enemies to defeat the country or make conspiracy against the country.
Subject matter jurisdiction establishes the fact that parties involved are not the citizens of the same state. There are diverse citizenships.
The country as a whole is affected by such disloyal person; but the case may be presented to a particular state court. Once it is presented, it becomes a subject matter jurisdiction of that court.
Other options are not correct, since in these cases the plaintiff and defendant may be from the same state.
