Answer:

A) A statue is a law created by lawmakers; case law is an interpretation of the law by a judge.

Statue law is law created by a legislative body. In the US, statue law is created by U.S. Congress or by state legislatures.

Case law is law developed from judicial decisions. A judge receives a case that is ambiguous, and he or she develops a new law based on the particularities of tha case. In the US, case law is for example developed by the US Supreme Court, with landmark decisions that have changed the legal landscape of the country.
