____ is a body of law created by government agencies in the form of rules, regulations, orders, and decisions used to carry out their duties and responsibilities.

  1. Case law

  2. Statutory law

  3. Administrative law

  4. Constitutional law

The correct answer is: Administrative law

Administrative law is a branch of law that governs the actions and procedures of government agencies. It is created by these agencies in order to fulfill their duties and responsibilities. This body of law is necessary since government agencies often have specific rules and regulations they must follow in order to make decisions and carry out their functions. The other options mentioned, such as case law, statutory law, and constitutional law, are created by other governing bodies, such as courts and legislatures, and are not directly related to government agency actions.
