Options A, B, and D, (marriage, slavery and farming) are the right answers.

Hammurabi who ruled between 1792 to 1750 B.C, was the king of Babylonia. He issued the “Code of Hammurabi”, which he alleged to have obtained from Shamash (god of justice). His law codes gave more emphasis on the bodily trial of the perpetrator. It conducted specific penalties for each offense. This law was designed to restrict what a wronged person was sanctioned to do in revenge. The list of Hammurabi's code introduced the economic provisions (such as prices, trade tariffs), criminal laws (thefts assaults), and family laws (marriage and divorce) and civil laws (debts and slavery).
