Answer:

Option: Farmers

Step-by-step explanation:

Tang dynasty believed in the concept of a full-time army rather than replacing the soldiers in every three years. By introducing this system, the Tang were able to control the economy, without spending too much money in the military. Farmers enlisted in the army because people engaged in an agrarian society. Tang military maintained the farmers as soldiers without paying them because they could support themselves by farming.
