I would rule out B and C because they didn't do much good they killed people who didn't change religion. I would go with D because they forced people to change to their religion.
The Daimyo gained power because they ran the government and distributed the rice crop.
The <u>Daimyo of Japan</u>:
- owned large areas of land
- taxed the peasants who farmed their lands for rice
- ruled their areas of Japan even though they were under the Shogun and Emperor
Because they owned such large amount of land, they were effectively the rulers of Japan as they controlled activities in their areas.
They also distributed the rice crop by taxing it and selling it with proceeds used for various things in Japanese society such as building roads.
