d. gender equality is emphasized, and women serve in many government positions.
please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

In the United Arab Emirates, the legal system is based on Sharia - law in part and has a central governing force. The UAE does not have a single written constitution in the traditional sense like some Western countries. Gender equality is not as emphasized as in some other parts of the world and women do not serve in many government positions in the same proportion as men. And the legal system does not fully protect liberty and equality in the Western - defined sense. The statement about the legal system being based on Sharia - law and having a central governing force is accurate.

Answer:

A. The law relies on the principles of Islamic and the basis of Sharia and religion.
