Answer:

The correct answer is C. Statutory law is the legal system which establishes the laws of a society through statutes written by a legislature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statutory law is, in the countries of the Anglo-Saxon legal system, the totality of the rules of law created by legislative bodies. Statutory law also includes acts of local authorities (local ordinances). There is a hierarchy of legal acts in statutory law: acts of legislative bodies have greater legal force than acts of executive bodies; and acts of federal bodies have greater legal force than acts of local authorities.
