Solution

The Chinese traditionally viewed their emperor as one who has divine right to rule all nations. This is because they believed in the "Mandate of Heaven", a political theory which was used to justify the rule of the king or emperor of China. According to this belief, heaven would bless the authority of a just ruler, but it could also take away the mandate from a despotic ruler. This explains why option A is the most accurate.
