Than you Ms. Sue!
The answer is B.
You're welcome, Taryn.
You are correct, the best answer is indeed option b) The Law of the Twelve Tables code was displayed at the Roman Forum.
To arrive at this answer, you need to have some knowledge about the laws developed by the Roman Empire. Here is an explanation of how to get to the correct answer:
Hammurabi’s Code mentioned in option a) was a set of laws created by the ancient Babylonian king Hammurabi, which predated the Roman Empire by several centuries. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.
The Code of the Assura laws mentioned in option c) does not exist. It seems to be a made-up term, so it cannot be the correct answer.
The Edicts of Ashoka mentioned in option d) were a set of laws issued by the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka in ancient India, not by the Roman Empire. Therefore, it is also not the correct answer.
This leaves us with option b) The Law of the Twelve Tables code. The Law of the Twelve Tables was a foundational legal code developed by ancient Rome in the 5th century BCE. These laws were publicly displayed on twelve tables in the Roman Forum, making it the correct answer.
Thus, based on this reasoning, your answer choice of option b) is correct. Well done!
