Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "Equality before the law" under Roman law principles, we analyze each option:

• "Foreigners are excluded from legal protection" contradicts equality as it discriminates against foreigners.
• "All citizens are treated equally regardless of social status" aligns with the concept of equality before the law, where legal treatment is not based on social standing.
• "Only nobles are protected by law" is elitist and against equality.
• "Laws apply only to men" is gender - based discrimination and against equality.

Answer:

B. All citizens are treated equally regardless of social status
