Which ancient civilization is associated with the creation of the "Code of Hammurabi," a set of laws regulating trade and family matters

a. Egyptians

b. Sumerians

c. Babylonians

d. Hebrews

c. Babylonians

The correct answer is option c. Babylonians.

To arrive at this answer, we need to understand what the "Code of Hammurabi" is and which ancient civilization is associated with its creation. The "Code of Hammurabi" is a collection of laws and regulations that was created by the Babylonian king Hammurabi around 1754 BCE.

To find out which ancient civilization is associated with the creation of the Code of Hammurabi, we can eliminate the options by understanding the historical context and contributions of each civilization:

a. Egyptians: The ancient Egyptians had their own system of laws and regulations, but their legal system did not produce anything similar to the Code of Hammurabi. Therefore, we can eliminate option a.

b. Sumerians: The Sumerians were an ancient civilization that existed in Mesopotamia, but the Code of Hammurabi was not associated with them. Hammurabi was the king of Babylon, which was a later civilization that rose to power after the fall of the Sumerians. Therefore, we can eliminate option b.

c. Babylonians: As mentioned earlier, the Babylonian king Hammurabi created the Code of Hammurabi. The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest known written code of laws in human history. Therefore, option c is the correct answer.

d. Hebrews: The Hebrews, or the ancient Israelites, had their own set of laws as outlined in the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament). These laws are known as the Mosaic Law and include the Ten Commandments. The Code of Hammurabi is not associated with the Hebrews, so we can eliminate option d.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option c. Babylonians.
