Answer 1

A. Rule of the country was passed down by inheritance

Step-by-step explanation:

Both ancient India and ancient China were ruled by dynasties. This means that some powerful family, once gaining control over the society, was ruling it, and the ruling of the country was passed down through inheritance. Basically, the dynasty that was ruling over the country was keeping the rule within the circles of the family, so the rule was passed from father to son constantly, until that dynasty was in charge of course. This kind of inheritance of ruling was going either way, as there were some excellent rulers coming through, but also some terrible ones.
