Answer:

B poor peasants who could not pay their taxes

Step-by-step explanation:

The major workforce of the Great Wall of China under the instruction of Qin Shi Huangdi were soldiers and peasants who could not pay their taxes.

The supreme leader was said to have ordered over 300,000 soldiers to begin work on the Great Wall and they were greatly complemented by peasants who could not pay their taxes. The project took about 9 years to complete.
