Final answer:
Korea is not a common-law country; its legal system is based on the civil-law tradition, unlike India, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Singapore which follow the common-law system inherited from British colonialism. The correct option is d.
Step-by-step explanation:
The country among the options given that is not a common-law country is d. Korea. Common-law systems are those where the law is largely formed by the decisions of courts and judges, as opposed to civil-law systems where codes and statutes are considered primary sources of law.
Countries such as India (a), Pakistan (b), Malaysia (c), and Singapore (e) have legal systems that are based on the English common-law system due to their historical ties with British colonialism. Korea, on the other hand, has a legal system based on the civil-law tradition, influenced by the German and Japanese legal systems, and does not primarily rely on judicial decisions as a source of law.
