I believe that the correct answer is the third option. Yaroslav the Wise wanted to prevent the division between his sons, so he exhorted them to live in peace with each other. In year 1054. the Kiev Russia was divided between his sons (Vladimir of Novgorod, Iziaslav I, Sviatoslav II, Vsevolod I and Igor Yaroslavich) and the legal code Rus’ Justice (Russkaya Pravda), which provided the laws during the feudal division, was written.
