It seems to me that power must be understood as the multiplicity of force relations that are immanent in the social sphere; as the process that, through ceaseless struggle and confrontation, transforms, strengthens, or reverses them; as the support that these force relations find in one another, or on the contrary, the disjunctions and contradictions that isolate them from one another; and lastly, as the strategies in which they take effect, whose general design or institutional crystallization is embodied in the state apparatus, in the formulation of the law, in the various social hegemonies.

My vote goes for D.
"The sovereignty of the state, the form of law, or the overall unity of a domination are only the terminal forms power takes."(D) Law is a product of power." Sounds like a mutation to me.

I like C from 2nd paragraph.
Even the second paragraph states that "whose general design or institutional crystallization is embodied in the state apparatus, in the formulation of the law, in the various social hegemonies"
meaning to say the general design of power is embodied in the formulation of the law.Law is derived from power.
Anser should be (D)
