What does civil law govern?

  1. Relations between countries

  2. Individual rights and government powers

  3. Relationships between individuals and their legal rights

  4. Criminal acts and society

The correct answer is: Relationships between individuals and their legal rights

Civil law governs relationships between individuals and their legal rights. This covers things like contracts, property ownership, and family law. Civil law differs from criminal law, which focuses on crimes and how they are punished. Options A and D are incorrect because civil law does not govern the relations between countries or criminal acts and society. Option B is incorrect because while civil law does involve individual rights and government powers to some extent, it is not the main focus.
