The statement "getting laws passed to give married women more rights and to protect divorced women" describes what Theodora achieved as Justinian's most trusted adviser.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Justinian I was assisted in his deliberations by his wife Theodora. She was a woman with a great intellect and so was authorized to advise the Emperor over issues of prominence.

She took advantage of her position and made great decisions in favour of married and divorced women which were in force for decades even after her death. Some historians believe that she was one among the most powerful and influential woman in the entire history of the Roman Empire.
