(Answer as soon as you know please!)

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument claiming the Xia Dynasty is a mythological construct claims that the Zhou (and later dynasties) wanted to make clear that the previous ones lost their right to rule through immoral conduct and so created a proto-dynasty - the Xia - as a pre historic model. The history of the Xia is recorded in ancient Chinese writings such as the Classic of History and the Records of the Grand Historian. However, there have been no archeological discoveries that can confirm the writings.
