- The Republic
- Apology

Correct Option: C
The concept of justice occupies the most important part of Plato’s ‘The Republic’. Sabine says: “The theory of the state in The Republic culminates in the conception of justice.” Plato has treated justice as the bond which holds a society together. The purpose of The Republic is to ensure justice. So it is called a “treatise concerning justice.”
