Explanation
Answer: D. As it applies to contracts, "private law" is a set of rules to which parties to a contract agree, that may not otherwise apply to the contract. Short of illegality, individuals can negotiate the terms of a contract. Common law or statutory rules that would not ordinarily apply to a particular type of contract may be agreed upon by the parties and upheld by a court.
