Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The proposition that the individual is the ultimate unit of all law, international or municipal, belongs to the monist school and is associated with Hersch "Lauterpacht", who argued that States are abstractions and that international law ultimately governs and protects individuals. "Austin" denied that international law is law at all, while "Starke" and "Fenwick" were treatise writers not associated with this thesis.
