Answer 1

B. They could not then organise with their family and friends against the emperor.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Just like any other authoritarian leader, there is always paranoia of someone else organising against the leader.
• The emperor also, being a leader, was not left out in this.
• Officials in the dynasty were rotated to different stations after each three years.
• By so doing, no official could be settled and used to a certain area to the extent to which they could develop minds of revolution.
