    d. solicited virtual business in Missouri.

    Explanation:

    Jurisdiction generally describes any authority over a certain geographic area, certain persons or actions of certain persons within a geographic area. On the other hand, a virtual business is a business conducted on the web.

    So when Lara places an ad on the Web that originates in Nebraska she has solicited a virtual business. However, for Missouri to exercise jurisdiction, Lara must have solicited virtual business in Missouri.
