The correct response is:

because Confucius believed it is the model for the other four relationships.

Filial piety, which emphasizes respect and duty toward one's parents and ancestors, is considered foundational in Confucianism and serves as a model for proper conduct in other key relationships, such as those between rulers and subjects, husbands and wives, elder and younger siblings, and friends.
