The term Rule includes what?

• A. Includes policy statements.
• B. Includes case law.
• C. Includes regulation.
• D. Includes moral guidelines.

Answer: (C)

Rule refers to the formal regulatory text enacted by a government or regulatory body to implement a law. It’s the regulation that lays out specific requirements, procedures, and penalties and is binding and enforceable. That’s why regulation is the best fit here. Policy statements are guidance from an agency and aren’t binding rules. Case law consists of court decisions interpreting laws and regulations, not the rule itself. Moral guidelines are non-binding ethical suggestions. So a Rule is best described by regulation.
