Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Ihering treated a legal right as a legally protected interest and held that the object of law is to protect human interests and avert conflict between them, so the statements reflecting his interest theory are "D and E only". The idea that a right is an inherent attribute of the human will belongs to the will theory, not Ihering.
