D-a copy of a code of law Grand by Hammurabi ​

Answer 1

Answer: D -a copy of a code of law Grand by Hammurabi ​

Step-by-step explanation:

A primary source would have to be one that Hammurabi was involved in personally and this would be the Code of Hammurabi.

The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest pieces of law ever discovered and was enacted under the reign of King Hammurabi. The code champions the philosophy of, ''an eye for an eye'' which means that punishments must suit the crime.

Hammurabi himself claims to have received the code from the Babylonian god of justice, Shamash. The copy of the code of law by Hammurabi would therefore be considered a primary source.
