Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Restatements of the law are not primary sources of law; they are secondary sources that aim to distill, clarify, and organize legal principles found in primary sources such as cases and statutes. They are prepared by legal scholars to guide judges and lawyers but do not have binding authority themselves.
