Question and options

Natural Law is also known by the following names
  1. Command of divine, Law of reason and Jus populis
  2. Command of God, Law of reason and Jus scriptum
  3. Command of God, Law of reason and Jus non-scriptum
  4. Positive law, Law of reason and Jus non-scriptum

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - Command of God, Law of reason and Jus non-scriptum
Natural law is also called divine law (the command of God), the law of reason, and jus non-scriptum (unwritten law), as well as jus naturale. 'Jus scriptum' means written law, and positive law is law laid down by the State, the very opposite of natural law, so the options containing them are wrong.
