Solution

The correct option is C Sociological
Sociological jurisprudence is a term coined by the American jurist Roscoe Pond to describe his approach to the understanding of the law. This philosophical approach to law stresses on the actual social effect of legal institutions, doctrines and practices. It examines the actual effects of the law within society and the influence of social phenomena on the substantive and procedural aspects of law.
