Step-by-step explanation:

The abbreviation BCE refers to the label "Before Common Era". This method of dating eras or periods was used to distinguish the period or era before CE or Common Era, which is the present era.

Hammurabi became the most powerful monarch or king of Babylon in 1792 BCE, which when calculated with the present period, is approximately about 3,800 years ago. This is calculated by counting the number of years between 1792 BCE and the current period.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.
