QWpurple

Mrs. Renfru, a resident of Houston, Texas, is a citizen of Brazil. Therefore, Mrs. Renfru is (C) subject to taxation by the U.S government.

The term "jurisdiction" refers to the legal control someone or something has over another. Typically, it refers to the power granted to a department or legal body to handle and address legal issues.

The enormous population of taxpayers is separated into various jurisdictions based on where they live. The term for this is the jurisdictional income tax. This indicates that a taxpayer's residential area determines which Income tax group he falls under. This divide is more of a geographical one.

So, although Mrs. Renfru is a Brazilian citizen since she resides in Houston, Texas so the US government has jurisdiction to tax Mrs. Renfru.

Therefore, option C is the right choice.
