Answer:

B. He makes people lick the floor in front of his feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

He requires those who have an audience with him to advance on their hands and knees and lick the floor. When a courtier is out of favor, the King sprinkles poison on the floor. This is how he illustrated his superiority and power over his subjects.
