Option. C

Explanation:

The court has a subject matter jurisdiction, because it is a federal institution and what Fred did is against any law and he will be charged accordingly and since it is a federal district court the case was presented too, they have jurisdiction of the subject matter because it is also the same federal law that binds the same states.
