A Correct answer
Explanation

The principle 'innocent until proven guilty' is a foundational concept of Natural Law, which holds that certain legal rights and principles are inherent and universal. This maxim places the burden of proof entirely on the prosecution to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. It distinguishes Natural Law from other legal systems and protects individuals from arbitrary state action, ensuring fairness and justice in legal proceedings.
