The correct answer is:

Qin Shihuangdi forced all the nobles to live at the capital so he could have a close eye on them. "He knew it would reduce rebellion and infighting"

Step-by-step explanation:

Confucius was a Chinese maestro and scholar of the early 6th century. He was growing in following when Qin Shihuangdi was in control. Qin's authority was questioned because of Confucius' instructions and he apprehended that the nobles would overthrow him if they were too persuaded that what Confucius showed them was the right path. So he ordered all the nobles to live in the capital so he could keep a close eye them and not let them plan or radical fronting him.

One of the main reasons why Qin Shihuangdi forced all nobles to live at the capital is because he feared that if his nobles went too far away, they would organize and rise up against him.
