Any or all of A, B, C & D as well as the country of registration of the plane and the country of which the perpetrator and victims were citizens or residents. In addition, there are sub-national jurisdictions (states, provinces etc.) that may be involved.

Just because one jurisdiction has jurisdiction it doesn't mean that others don't also have jurisdiction.
