Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 27(1) recognises the aggrieved person's qualifying residence, business or employment, the respondent's residence, business or employment, and the place where the cause of action arose. Mere marriage location, property ownership or a parent's residence is not independently enough. Any such place may nevertheless qualify if a statutory venue ground is also present.
