Answer:

d)attendants to the sun god

Step-by-step explanation:

The acllas (in Quechua: aqllasqa, 'chosen') were women of singular beauty. They were chosen from various places in the Inca Empire to serve the Inca or the Sun God or Inti. Its preparation was carried out in the Acllahuasi, where the women lived under the supervision of isolated Mamaconas in a high honor service.

There were three types of Acllas:

  • Aclla del Sol: They devoted their entire lives to the worship of the Sun God.
  • State's Aclla
  • Taquiaclla: Chosen for her singing abilities. His job was to brighten up the parties of the imperial court
