Answer: A — Aztec (Mexica) Empire.

Explanation: The Safavid, Mughal, and Qing expansions (1450–1750) were strongly linked to gunpowder weapons (artillery, muskets) and their military centralization. The Aztec expansion, however, preceded widespread use of gunpowder technology and relied on traditional weapons and tactics, so gunpowder siege weapons would not explain their growth.
