Answer 1

Military laws only abide to those in the service; therefore, do not apply to civilians (non-military personnel). Civil law is a body of rules that defines and protects the private rights of citizens; does not apply to military laws. Therefore, you can eliminate A, B, and D. The answer is C.

Answer 2

C. Civil law relates the rights of private citizens; military laws relate to people who are in the armed forces.
