The answer is B. Persian rulers divided their large empire into smaller areas called satrapies ruled by what is called a satrap. Darius was the first ruler to do this. He. divided the government into 20 provinces calling them satrapies. A satrap acts as a tax collector, chief of police, judge and the head recruiter of the Persian army.
