Answer: (D)

‘Ubi jus ibi remedium’ is a latin maxim which means where there is a right there is a remedy. The word ‘Jus’ means the legal authority to do or demand something, and the word ‘remedium’ means the right of action in a Court of law. Literal meaning of this maxim is that whenever there is a legal right, there is a legal remedy. It also expresses that there is no wrong without a remedy.
