• C
  70% (14)
• D

Explanation

Statutory law (C) is correct because it refers specifically to laws written and enacted by a legislative body - in the U.S., Congress passes bills that become statutes, making this the direct output of the legislative branch.

• A (Study law) is not a real legal category; it's a distractor with no established meaning in U.S. law.
• B (Business law) is a broad subject area covering legal rules that apply to commerce, but it's not created by a single branch - it draws from multiple sources including contracts, torts, and regulations.
• D (Administrative law) comes from the executive branch: federal agencies (like the EPA or FDA) issue rules and regulations under authority delegated to them, not from Congress directly.

Memory tip: Think "statute = legislature" - both start with the same root concept of formal, written rules. If you remember that a "statute" is a law passed by a legislature, you'll always connect statutory law to the legislative branch.
