The correct answer is **c. development of bureaucracy**.
The development of states often involves the establishment of more complex administrative systems to manage resources, enforce laws, and organize society, which is typically seen in the rise of bureaucracies. In the case of the Zapotecs, their transformation from chiefdoms to states was supported by the development of bureaucratic structures that facilitated governance and control over their territory and populations.
