Megan, a resident of New York, runs a red light in Texas and hits Sarah, a Texas resident. Sarah files suit against Megan. The Texas court can exercise jurisdiction over Megan based on: a. maximum contacts statute. b. out-of-state jurisdiction statute. c. the long arm statute. d. legitimate contacts statute.

c. The Long Arm Statute.

Explanation:

The legal jurisdiction "Long Arm Statute" refers to the liberty of a state to have jurisdiction against an out-of-state defendant in a legal case. In other words, this statute means that a state has the right to persecute an out-of-state offender who commits the offense in the visiting state. Simply put, the state has a long arm to reach other states and bring the offenders to court.

In the given scenario, Megan is from New York but commits the offense of running a red light and hitting Sarah while in Texas. So, when Sarah files the lawsuit against Megan, the state of Texas can exercise the "Long Arm Statute" against Megan and persecute her despite being a New York citizen and not a Texas resident.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.
