Which of the following was the body of civil law created for the byzantine empire?
a. the roman law
b. the justinian code
c. the orthodox law
d. the greek code

B. the Justinian Code

Explanation:

The Justinian Code was created during the reign of Justinian I, and it was sponsored by him. Basically, the Justinian Code represents a newly created collection of laws and legal interpretations. Actually, this was not such a dramatic change as it may sound, as the Justinian Code was largely based on the old laws, also having added some extracts of the opinions of some of the great Roman jurists. This practically makes it more of a combination between the older collections of laws from Byzantium, and some of the collections of the laws of Rome, with only minor changes or newly promoted laws in it. The Justinian Code is consisted of four books.
