I believe the answer is: B.The Byzantine emperor was considered to be the highest political and religious figure. In the Western Empire, the highest political and religious figures were two different people.
Even though it's true that the priests had a really huge influence in western politic, At that time period the highest political figures and religious figures still divided between the emperor and the High Priest. The priest's involvement in political stance limited only to being a direct advisory to the Emperor.
During this time, it was China that mostly remained a land-based empire. This is due partly to the fact that China occupied a large area of land, and didn't need more resources.
You didn't provide a list of choices, but I'll provide a key example: The US intervention in Korea. In Korea, when communist forces from the North invaded the South in 1950, the United States intervened (with United Nations backing), battled to keep South Korea free and democratic, and were able to do so. The Soviet Union did not play an active, open role in that war, but did covertly supply <span>material services to the North Korean side, as well as Soviet pilots and aircraft. Keeping communism from spreading in Korea was a way the US was practicing its policy of containment over against Soviet communist influence.</span>
