Answer:

C) All people could see the laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hammurabi's Code was a major turnout in history since, laws were made public to all citizens, and the punishments and sanctions were known to all.

Laws included all aspects of social . economic and everyday life.

This meant that the sovereign ruler had chosen to record laws in an attempt to provide justice, prosperity and good for his people. Laws were recorded in a written form, which is preserved until today. And his legacy became so important in that in many regions, formerly part of Mesopotamia, some law and principles are directly traced back to Hammurabi's rules.
