Explanation

Natural law is an ethical-legal doctrine that proposes the existence of a law that goes beyond the laws created and therefore, it is independent of society. This law is often attributed to nature or god and has influenced the actions of human societies including specific rights that are believed to be inherent to the human condition, that is, certain rights that are inalienable. Besides this, the natural law is universal, superior to any other legal system and necessary to reach happiness or peace. At the same time, natural law is considered one of the sources of law, along with custom and written law, since its postulates are born together with the human being, and therefore are the basis of Universal Human Rights as we understand them nowadays. So, the corect answer is B. Natural Law.
