Correct Answer
A. A law limiting the time to begin a criminal prosecution or civil action.
Detailed Explanation
Another definitions question, but a different concept. In the booklet’s "Definitions and General Terms," a "Statute of Limitations" is a law that limits the time within which a criminal prosecution or a civil action must be started. Not to be confused with the "Statute of Frauds," which concerns whether certain contracts must be in writing.
