The correct response is **b)**: The ancient Rome civilization created the Laws of the Twelve Tables, which were inspired by Hammurabi’s Code.
**Explanation:**
The Laws of the Twelve Tables are a significant early legal code in ancient Rome, established around the mid-5th century BCE. They were inspired by various earlier legal codes, including Hammurabi’s Code from Babylon, which is one of the earliest written legal codes, dating back to around 1754 BCE in Mesopotamia—a river valley civilization.
Options a, c, and d incorrectly attribute the creation of the Laws of the Twelve Tables to the Minoan civilization and the Indus Valley civilization, neither of which were responsible for that particular legal framework. The river valley civilizations (like those in Mesopotamia and along the Indus River) developed their own laws, but the Twelve Tables specifically originated from ancient Rome, thus making option b the correct choice.
