Answer:
OA. It provided for its people during emergency situations.
Explanation:
As given in the excerpt from the book <em>Chronicles of the Incas </em>by Pedro de Cieza de Leon, it is easy to understand that the government takes care of its people during their hard times. It also has no discrimination against the poor or the weak, nor does it differentiate between the rich and the poor, or the lords and the common people.
Equality was the main theme of the Incan government, with everyone required to work hard and supply the food for the storage. The statement <em>"No one who was lazy or tried to live by the work of others was tolerated; everyone had to work"</em> rightly provide proof that everyone was treated equal, where even the lords were made to work on the fields and take <em>"the plow in hand and cultivated the earth, and did other things"</em>. The requirement that anyone who is healthy must work and supply the storehouse, and when he is ill or in need of help, he can get however much he wants from the storehouse. Thus,<u> this system shows that there is no demarcation between the people and everyone was free to get what they need but also required to work in providing for the storehouse. </u>
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
