Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The naturalist school held that international law rests on the law of nature. Pufendorf was its leading exponent, and Grotius and Vattel also drew heavily on natural law (they are often called Grotians or eclectics).

Bynkershoek was a positivist. He found the basis of international law in the actual practice and consent of States, not in natural law.
