Explanation
Answer: A. Modern civil law systems are based on codes from the system of the Roman Empire. While efforts to create a legal system can be traced back to 1792 B.C.E. in Babylon, modern legal systems that many countries now use are rooted in the system established by the Roman Empire. The distinguishing feature of a civil law system is that the laws are organized into written codes.
