The correct answer is A. They provided consistent codes of law for their societies.
Hammurabi's Code is the first legal code known, and the most ancient set of laws documented. It was created in ancient Mesopotamia, written around 1750 BC by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, where he unified the existent codes of the different Babylonian cities. This code is based on the law of the talion or "an eye for an eye." It is also the first example of presumption of innocence in the history of law.
The Ten Commandments are a set of ten laws that, according to the Hebrew belief, was given to the Jewish people by God through the prophet Moses in mount Sinai. It establishes an ethical code of behavior, forbidding some actions, like killing and stealing and boosting other actions, like worshiping God on Saturday.
Both are codes of law that enacted a social order in the societies where they came to be and both were based on religious beliefs.
