“Jus Naturale” is Roman version of which of the following ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Jus naturale was the Roman term for natural law, the law that natural reason sets for all, which the Roman jurists, following the Stoics, contrasted with the jus civile of a particular state. The jus gentium was regarded as its practical counterpart common to all peoples.

Natural justice is a later procedural idea, and natural reasonableness and natural science are not what the term means.
