   B) Legal Code

Explanation: In order to treat all Roman citizens equally and fairly, the Law of the Twelve Tables in ancient Rome was made in 451 - 450 BC. Classes were defined at that time and this law attempted to treat them equally. This law is not entirely a legal system, but it represents one beginning to continue the development of the legal system, and such was the precursor to the legal systems of many later civilizations, and to this day. It was written on twelve bronze tablets.
