The correct answer is B) the Code of Hammurabi.

This sentence is from the Code of Hammurabi.

The Code of Hammurabi is considered the oldest written legal code, and it dates back from the times of Babylon, created by King Hammurabi of Babylon. It comprises 282 rules that served to regulate trade activities and legal issues to keep the order in the Babylonian territory. So the sentence is "If any one brings an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall if it be a capital offense charged, be put to death." And it is from the Code of Hammurabi.
