Answer 1

Tokugawa shoguns required daimyos to live part time in the capital to maintain their own power and influence over the entire country.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tokugawa Period of Japanese history remained till the 1800s. The Tokugawa shoguns directly administered the quarter of Japan’s territory. Daimyos, the local lords who were about 250 in number administered the remaining rest but under the strict control of the shoguns.

The daimyos were not permitted to do anything without shogun's permission. They couldn’t even marry, alter their castles or even pass property to their sons without the approval of shogun's monopoly government.
