Solution

The correct option is B Vedas
In ancient India, secular law varied widely from region to region and from ruler to ruler. The society was governed on the basis of "Dharma". It was inspired from the Vedas. It mostly refers to the principle of righteousness or duty. Dharmic laws governed not only the individual but also the society. Since the Dharmic laws formed the basis of Hindu Law, the concept of justice was linked to religion. The king was the provider of justice.
