Answer:

B poor peasants who could not pay their taxes

Step-by-step explanation:

When Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi ordered the construction of the Great Wall of China in 221 BC, the workforce was made up largely of poor peasants who could not pay their taxes

The project took about 9 years from inception to completion and it is said that some of the workers who died on the job were buried within the Great Wall.
