Explanation:
Throughout Shi HuangDi's lifetime, he did may horrible things to many of the people living in China at that time, and even though he accomplished some great things like building the biggest part of the Great Wall of China, there are many accounts saying that the death toll of such a great project was more than 40,000. Other than that, he also murdered all of the scholars/teachers at the time and burned all of the books he could find. Other things he did include deporting/executing the former aristocrats/lords of the other states, and overtaxed his people.
The correct answer is D) amount of taxes to collect.
The statement that was not an economic decision that family groups made and that led to the development of a civilization is "amount of taxes to collect."
The first human civilizations had to make some decisions in order to survive such as crops to cultivate, location of settlement, and resources to use. Let's remember that early humans were nomads, hunter-gathers that used to follow herds to hunt them and feed their families. During the Neolithic Revolution, humans started to settle in one place and learned agriculture techniques that allowed them to grow crops and domesticate animals. That was the case of the Sumerians that established between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, in the region if the Middle East that today is Iraq.
