The correct response is:

They could not then organize with their family and friends against the emperor.

By not allowing officials to serve in their home districts, the Han Empire aimed to prevent potential conflicts of interest and reduce the risk of corruption or rebellion that could arise from familial or local loyalties. This policy helped to maintain central control and authority over the vast empire.
