Answer:
A. Blessing from divine porwers
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Mandate of Heaven, the determination of whether a Chinese leader would remain in power was based on the idea that the ruler held the "Mandate of Heaven", which was a divine right to rule given to them by a higher power. The Mandate of Heaven was believed to be bestowed upon a ruler who governed justly and with virtue, and could be withdrawn if the ruler lost the Mandate by ruling unjustly or losing the Mandate. The Mandate of Heaven was not based on the support from the common people, military strength and strategy, personal wealth, or generosity of the ruler.
