The correct answer is "C".

The Code of the Hammurabi is a Babylonian code from ancient Mesopotamia which dates back to 1754 BCE. It was enacted by the 6th Babylonian King, Hammurabi.

The code's objective was to achieve equality among the citizens of the Babylonian empire. The magnitude of the criminal penalties was based on the identity and the gender of both the person who committed the crime and the victim.
