What body of law is responsible for defining illegal conduct and protecting public safety?

Civil Law
Commercial Law
Contract Law
Criminal Law

The correct answer is: Criminal Law

Criminal Law is the correct answer because it is the body of law that is responsible for defining illegal conduct and protecting public safety through the criminal justice system. Criminal law deals with offenses against the state or society, such as theft, murder, fraud, and other criminal activities. It sets out the punishment for those convicted of committing crimes, aiming to maintain public order and protect individuals and property. Civil Law, Commercial Law, and Contract Law are not directly focused on defining illegal conduct and protecting public safety like Criminal Law. Civil Law deals with disputes between individuals or organizations, Commercial Law regulates business and commercial transactions, and Contract Law governs agreements between parties. While these areas of law are important in their respective contexts, they do not have the primary role of defining illegal conduct and protecting public safety as Criminal Law does.
