Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A statute is a law created by a legislative body, and in this case, the Ohio legislature passed a law requiring all bicycle riders to wear a helmet. The other options are not statutes, as they were not created by a legislative body - they were issued by the executive (A), judicial (B), or administrative (D) branches of government.
