Explanation:

A lawsuit about an employee's workplace injury (slipping on a wet floor) involves disputes between individuals/entities (employee and employer, likely) over liability, which is a civil matter. Civil courts handle non - criminal disputes like personal injury, contract, or property disputes. Appeals courts review decisions from lower courts, not try original cases. Supreme courts are usually for final appeals or constitutional issues. Criminal courts deal with crimes against the state, not workplace injury disputes. So the correct court is civil court.

Answer:

A. civil court
