C. to reward wartime allies with land

When Liu Bang (Emperor Gaozu) founded the Han, he granted fiefs to relatives and supporters who’d helped him win power to secure their loyalty. (This arrangement later led to powerful regional princes and the central government moved to curb them after uprisings like the Rebellion of the Seven States.)
