    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Civil Code". Napoleon's unified law system refers to the legal reforms implemented by Napoleon Bonaparte during his rule in France. One of the most significant reforms was the creation of the Civil Code, also known as the Napoleonic Code. This code aimed to unify and modernize the legal system, providing a comprehensive set of laws governing civil matters. It was implemented in France and also influenced legal systems in many other countries. The other options mentioned in the question, such as dependent states, the consulate, Waterloo, and Corsica, are unrelated to Napoleon's Civil Code.

These states were under the control and influence of Napoleon and were expected to follow his policies and directives.
