A. Women and children were given some rights.
Hammurabi's Code was significant in that it established a set of laws that provided some rights to women and children, which was a notable aspect of its legacy. While it did include elements of social stratification in its laws, and punishments were not always the same across social classes, it did offer more structured rights in some areas compared to previous practices. Thus, option A is the most accurate with respect to the impact of Hammurabi's Code on Babylonian society.
