Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 18 deals with uncertainty about which court's territorial limits contain the immovable property involved in a suit. A court satisfied that there is a genuine ground for that uncertainty may record it and hear the suit, provided it is otherwise competent as to the suit's nature and value. Section 17 instead addresses property actually situated within more than one court's jurisdiction.
