The best answer is C: A law prohibiting people from overthrowing their rulers.
While ancient China did have centralized government rule and elaborate structures like temples and palaces, as well as a diverse population and a form of standard currency, the idea of a formal law prohibiting the overthrow of rulers is less characteristic, as Dynastic cycles involved changes in leadership and sometimes even revolutions or uprisings against rulers.
