Who said that application of natural law results in the law of nations and nations are absolutely bound to observe natural law ?
Answer: B
The view is Vattel's.
Emmerich de Vattel, in Le Droit des gens (1758), described the 'necessary law of nations' as the law of nature applied to nations, and said that nations are absolutely bound to observe it. He combined this naturalist core with a voluntary and customary law of nations based on consent, and his book was widely used by diplomats.
Grotius also drew on natural law but treated the law of nations as resting partly on the consent of states. Oppenheim and Brierly were twentieth-century positivist writers who grounded international law in the practice and consent of states.
