PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS How did policies similar to those described in the passage contribute to the sultan’s success in maintaining control over India?

The sultan's repaired forts allowed the military to extend its control over the peasantry.
The sultan’s projects required higher taxes that kept citizens from rising above financial poverty.
The sultan’s complete control of the land granted the government access to unlimited resources.
The sultan’s adherence to codified law restored the peasants’ trust in a centralized government.

I may be late but to future comrads of the Edge Grind the Answer is D

Explanation:

A is wrong because it doesn't mention military even once in the passage

B is also wrong because of the same reason as A

C is also wrong because of the same reasons also unlimited resources doesn't make sense because they did have resource struggle

And D is correct because it mentions it in the text.

it was the new england colonies.

hope dis !

the correct statement is letter a.   according to the mandate of heaven, kings were considered godlike beings, so they could do as they .

the mandate of heaven is a chinese political and religious ideology used since ancient times to justify the rule of the king or emperor of china, that has been in place since the zhou until the dynasty system ended. it has been created to justify the zhou as the main power of the region. in order to keep harmony, the ruler has to make what he wants and what people want. he had to make good choices to satisfy the people and then they will be happy and keep you in power.
