The correct answer is D. runaway slaves.

In the context of the excerpt discussing a code, “goods” often refers to items or entities that are subject to trade, possession, or enforcement. In this case, runaway slaves were considered property under certain laws at the time, thus being treated as “goods” within that specific legal framework.
