Answer:

Correct answer is: Code of Hammurabi .

Step-by-step explanation:

Twelve Tables is not correct as it it the first Roman law that was created in 5th Century BC.

Code of Hammurabi is the correct answer as it refers to the first written code that was created in Babylonia, an ancient civilization that existed in the river valleys of Euphrates and Tigris.

Justinian's law or the Justinian's Code is the most famous Byzantine law created in the 6th Century. That is why the answer is not correct.

Ten Commandments are the laws that according to the Bible God gave to Moses on Sinai.
