Explanation:

- I. A civil court of competent jurisdiction: This means a court that has the authority to hear and decide cases of a particular nature, fulfilling the requirements for res judicata.

- II. A court of exclusive jurisdiction: This refers to a court that solely has the authority to decide specific types of cases, which can establish res judicata for such cases.

- III. A court of concurrent jurisdiction ‘competent to try the subsequent suit’: Such a court shares jurisdiction with another and can affect subsequent suits, satisfying res judicata conditions.

- IV. A court of limited jurisdiction competent to try the issue raised in the subsequent suit: Even courts with limited scope can establish res judicata if they can address the issue in a following suit.

- Option 1 suggests a civil or competent concurrent court can apply res judicata, consistent with the requirements.

- Option 2 combines exclusive and competent concurrent jurisdiction, both valid for res judicata.

- Option 3 considers competent concurrent and limited jurisdiction, covering plausible scenarios endowing res judicata.

- Option 4 - All of these: Each court type listed can create conditions for res judicata in different contexts and satisfy the requirements.
