Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A complaint must include a statement alleging the facts showing the court has jurisdiction, which is typically one of the first things included in the complaint. Option A is not necessary to include in the complaint as it would be presented during trial, not within the complaint. Option B is not required as it is the defendant's responsibility to assert a defense, not the plaintiff in the complaint. Option C is not appropriate as it is a motion made after both parties have made their pleadings.
