Common and civil and criminal
Criminal justice and civil

Explanation

Answer: D - Common and civil/criminal are the two classifications of law. Common and civil law is under one umbrella. In common, general principles are derived from decisions in case law using the concept of precedent. In civil law, rules and regulations are enforced through the court system and protect the legal rights of private persons. Criminal law relates to acts considered offensive to society as a whole and are classified as misdemeanors or felonies.
