Answer 1

Answer:

C) burial mounds.

Explanation:

structures related to funeral practices began to appear in some areas, such as ossuaries and burial mounds. In some of these structures, a large number of people were placed to indicate a fairly egalitarian social organization. On the contrary, in other areas, burial mounds are reserved for a smaller number of people, indicating a certain degree of state differentiation between people.
