Answer:

The correct answer is option A) Rules and regulations for living in society.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code of Hammurabi is a set of laws. It is the oldest in history that has been found. It contains 282 laws and how to respond to the breach of each of them.

According to each law, there was a punishment that related to the crime committed, although these punishments varied depending on who committed the crime (if he was a slave, a property owner, etc).

It was written and published in order for each person to see that if he committed a crime, he would be punished. And in this way to be able to live in a more orderly society.
