Answer:

D. Also known as "Justinian's Code," it revised and organized centuries of Roman law into a consistent, understandable legal code.

Explanation:

The Corpus Juris Civilis is also known as the Code of Justinian. This is a collection of works in Roman law that was issued from 529 to 534 by the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I. The code was used in the Byzantine Empire through the 15th century. It was then adopted by the Ottoman Empire and it currently forms the basis of the legal code of Modern Greece. It also had a large impact in western Europe during the Middle Ages and in the canon law of the Catholic Church.
