The primary factor that led to social unrest in the Han Empire was:
**a. Economic strain and land distribution problems**
During the late Han Dynasty, wealth became increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few landowners, which exacerbated social inequalities and led to widespread discontent among peasants and lower classes. This situation contributed to significant social unrest, including the outbreak of rebellions such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. While other factors may have played a role as well, economic strain and land distribution issues were central to the unrest.
