The correct answer is D. Right to present evidence

Explanation:

The excerpt from Hammurabi's code explained those involved in a case of robbery should present evidence through witnesses. This included the owner of the stolen goods because she/he needed to prove the goods belonged to him/her "The judge shall examine their testimony...of the witnesses who identify the lost article on oath". Additionally, it is explained all the testimonies were examined before any punishment was imposed. According to this, in Hammurabi's code, those involved in a crime had the right to present evidence because this was used to find who was guilty and impose penalties.
