A. Hammurabi’s Code is known for its specific punishments that correspond to various offenses, often based on the principle of "an eye for an eye." This code contains some of the earliest known legal codes that prescribed punishments for particular crimes.
The other options, while they include legal or moral guidelines, do not emphasize specific punishments in the same way. The Ten Commandments provide moral directives rather than legal punishments, the Roman Twelve Tables outline laws but are not as detailed in terms of punishments, and Justinian’s Code is a compilation of laws and legal principles rather than a specific list of punishments.
So the correct answer regarding specific punishments is **A. Hammurabi’s Code**.
