d. all of the above
Explanation: The four-part division echoes the Tahuantinsuyu ("Land of the Four Quarters"), the checkerboard (t'inya/ticlla) motif was used to mark rank—often for officers and royal attendants—and Inca colors/patterns were regulated as social/administrative identifiers, functioning much like standardized uniforms.
