Explanation

Jurisdictional conflicts - particularly in international law and cybercrime - are primarily complicated by the lack of a central international authority empowered to enforce rules across sovereign nations. Each country maintains independent legal systems, and without a supranational body that can compel compliance, disputes over which nation's laws apply (and who enforces them) have no clear resolution mechanism.

Why the distractors fall short:

• A (Technology standards): While tech differences can create friction, they are implementable problems with technical solutions - they don't fundamentally prevent jurisdiction from being established.
• B (Costs): Expense is a practical inconvenience, not a structural barrier to resolving who has authority.
• C (Language barriers): Translation is a solvable logistical challenge; it doesn't prevent nations from agreeing on jurisdictional frameworks.

Memory tip: Think of jurisdictional conflicts like a neighborhood dispute - if there's no HOA, mayor, or police with clear authority over both properties, no one can force a resolution. No authority = no enforcement = no resolution.
