Answer 1

Answer:

A. Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar

Explanation:

Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar who lived around 600 B.C was the King who initiated the idea of providing incentive to laborers. An incentive is something that is given to motivate a person to do something or to become more productive at what he does.

Back then, laborers who wove clothes wear rewarded with food. Those who produced more clothes were rewarded with more food. This served as an incentive to the workers to work harder if they were to receive more rewards.
