Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The situation involves public law due to the violation of traffic laws (use of a cell phone while driving), private law in the context of the damage to Dev's property and the ensuing liability, civil law as it pertains to the legal dispute between Hannah and Dev over damages, and criminal law because Hannah's actions led to legal citations by the police officer for breaking traffic laws.
