Pick the correct meaning of the phrase "ULTRA VIRES".

Correct Option: 4
    \newline
  1. Internet virus - Incorrect. "Ultra vires"is a legal term and has nothing to do with computer viruses or the internet.
    2. \newline
  2. Contagious disease - Incorrect. This option is misleading as "ultra vires"does not refer to any type of medical condition or disease; it's a term used in law.
    3. \newline
  3. Within authority - Incorrect. Although it sounds plausible, "ultra vires"actually means the opposite. It refers to actions taken outside of one's legal authority.
    4. \newline
  4. Beyond jurisdiction - Correct. "Ultra vires"is a Latin term used in law to describe actions that go beyond the powers granted to a company, government, or any entity by its laws or constitution. It perfectly fits the definition of being outside or beyond legal authority or jurisdiction.
