Explanation

The Yasa was a code of laws attributed to Genghis Khan and used to regulate conduct and maintain order across the Mongol Empire. It governed people’s behavior rather than serving as a religious text, a reward system, or an oath of allegiance. Therefore, the correct choice is “a system of laws that kept order and governed people’s behavior.”
