A: Savigny
B: Salmond
C: Julius Stone
D: Buckland

The answer is: C

Explanation

The correct option is C: Julius Stone.

He was an Australian legal scholar who described jurisprudence as lawyer's extraversion. He meant that jurisprudence is the lawyer's examination of the precepts, ideas and techniques of the law in the light derived from present knowledge in disciplines other than the law. He argued that jurisprudence should not be confined to the analysis of legal concepts and principles, but should also explore the social, moral, political and ethical aspects of law. He believed that jurisprudence should be relevant to the contemporary problems and challenges faced by the legal profession and society.

Savigny, Salmond and Buckland were other legal scholars who had different views on jurisprudence.

Savigny was a German jurist who founded the historical school of law. He emphasized the importance of studying the historical development of law and its connection to the culture and spirit of a nation.

Salmond was a British jurist who wrote a famous textbook on jurisprudence. He defined jurisprudence as the science of the first principles of civil law. He classified jurisprudence into two branches: analytical and normative. Analytical jurisprudence deals with the exposition of legal concepts and principles, while normative jurisprudence deals with the evaluation and criticism of law.

Buckland was an English jurist who specialized in Roman law. He wrote a treatise on Roman law that is still widely used today. He also wrote a book on jurisprudence, in which he discussed the nature, sources, classification and interpretation of law.
