Answer: C - The most common law used internationally is civil law. For the most part, a civil law system is focused on codified law-or written law. Under civil law, lower courts are not compelled to follow the decisions made by higher courts. Additionally, civil law is rule-based law, not precedence based. The history of civil law dates to the sixth century when the byzantine emperor Justinian codified the laws of Rome.
