Model Answer
(C) A civil code of 1804 that abolished birth privileges and established equality before the law.
Explanation
The passage directly states: "The Civil Code of 1804 – usually known as the Napoleonic Code – did away with all privileges based on birth, established equality before the law and secured the right to property." Options A, B, and D are completely unrelated to the Napoleonic Code. Always link the term to its textbook definition.
