Answer:
The correct answer is C. Roman Law.
Step-by-step explanation:
Roman law is the law that was applied in ancient times, first in Rome and later in the entire Roman Empire. Since the sources of ancient Roman law collected in the Corpus iuris civilis were rediscovered in Bologna in the high Middle Ages, the effect of Roman law continued into the 19th century, as the sources were considered authoritative for the law in most European countries. The establishment of the Corpus Iuris Civilis as valid imperial law in the Holy Roman Empire led to codifications in today's Europe, which conceptually led to the reception of Roman law.
Roman law was essentially not purely statutory law, but rather consisted of a triad of legal sources in which common law and legal law played a major role regulating both private relationships between individuals, as well as public law regarding crime and governmental issues.
