1. Correct Answer: C
Explanation:- Not actually referring to common law; this term refers to common doctrine and principles of civil law that underlie all aspects of civilian legal systems and that formed the basis of medieval Roman law. Hence option C is correct.
2. Correct Answer: B
Explanation:- In Latin this legal word means “In contemplation of approaching death”. A phrase sometimes used in reference to a deathbed gift, or a gift causa mortis, since the giving of the gift is made in expectation of approaching death. A gift causa mortis is distinguishable from a gift inter vivos, which is a gift made during the donor’s (the giver’s) lifetime. Hence option B is correct.
3. Correct Answer: A
