Justinian I wanted to reform the law of the Byzantine Empire because the code needed to be collected and reorganized. They had inherited numerous laws from Rome and needed to clear these. The correct answer is A.

I believe the answer is: a. The code needed to be collected and reorganized. 

At that time, Justinian see the law imposed in the Roman empire to be non-transparent, which make the government officials to have to much power because they can make punishment even without clear legal grounds. The reorganizing that made by Justinian makes all regulations become transparent to all people.
