Explanation
An empire is a multireligious, multicultural and multiethnic state that controls at least part of its territory by annexation conquests and ruled by a ruler or emperor. In addition, it maintains a constant expansion as long as there are no pressures or internal economic (a period of crisis), political (fall of the dominant elite) or military conflicts (invasion by another State). Moreover, empires are the result of historical processes that make different states to become a unit or form a single larger state. So, the correct answer is A.
