New Jersey has jurisdiction over A-Rod's company because the "Mighty Moe was born in Jersey City."

This is based on the idea that State Court has general or broad jurisdiction over any legal issues except those not allowed by the state law, which is then directed to the Federal court.

In this case, given the available options, the state of New Jersey has jurisdiction over A-Rod's company because the "Mighty Moe was born in Jersey City."

Generally, a state court has general jurisdiction over any legal issues involving citizens from that particular state or company conducting business in that state.

Thus, another reason New Jersey has jurisdiction over A-Rod's company is that the company conducts its business in the state.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option C. "Mighty Moe was born in Jersey City."
