Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

In the sense opposed to criminal law, civil law is a form of private law dealing with relations between individuals, such as contract and tort. It is not part of public law, controlling wrongdoing the state disapproves of describes criminal law, and enforcing particular forms of behaviour is too vague to define it.
