Solution
The ‘jurisprudence’ has been misspelt in the part d of the sentence. 'Jurisprudence' means rules, regulation or legislation. In the given context, the author is trying to imply that Greeks were so good in other fields that it made it difficult to believe that they were inferior to romans in legislations. Hence option A is the correct answer.
