Explanation:

To determine the emperor who collected and codified all laws of the Byzantine age, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Constantine): Known for moving the capital to Constantinople and religious reforms, not law codification.
• Option B (Justinian): He commissioned the Corpus Juris Civilis, which collected and codified Byzantine laws.
• Option C (Licinius): A rival of Constantine, not associated with law codification.
