Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The complete question read;
The object in Image 1 best illustrates which of the following continuities in world history?
(A) The power of traditional elites was continuously challenged by the emerging power of new elites.
(B) The power of states was based on the ability of rulers to monopolize the use of violence.
(C) Artists depended on royal patronage for their livelihoods.
(D) Rulers used religious imagery to legitimize their political authority.
Answer:
<u>(D) Rulers used religious imagery to legitimize their political authority.</u>
Explanation:
We can make this assertion because the image seems to portray a blend between religious authority and political authority; because the caption seems to show that this religious object (the female ancestor spirit) was now used "FOR A KING’S CEREMONIAL SCEPTER".
In other words, the rulers now used religious imagery to legitimize their political authority, as if to say, they are been approved by their ancestors.
