- BLaw that regulates only contracts between two private persons
- CLaw that applies only to companies and partnership firms
- DLaw made only by local bodies for a village
Explanation
Public law deals with the organisation of the State and the relationship between the State and its citizens, as in constitutional, administrative and criminal law. Contracts between private persons fall under private law, so the second option is wrong. Company or partnership law is not the defining test of public law.
