In feudal Japan, the emperor was the highest ranking figure at the top of hierarchy. Despite this, the emperor had little power compared to those at the top of the military class including the shogun and daimyo who were seen as true rulers of Japan during this era.

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

i did the quiz. This is because over time, japanese shoguns, who were in charge of the military, slowly grew power over time and the emperor, who lost power through wars. Eventually, the emperor only had respect and the shoguns were the ones with the real power.
