The correct option is B

During 1804 the Civil Code des Français was issued, also known as the Napoleonic Code, which consists of the drafting of a single body that would unify the French civil laws. The Code was prepared by committees of legal experts under the supervision of Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès, who served as Second Consul from 1799 to 1804; Bonaparte, however, participated in the sessions of the Council of State, where the proposed laws were reviewed. This code had a transcendental influence on the legal world, and was the cornerstone of the codification process.
