Explanation:

Question 14

During the Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan was unified, so samurais lost their traditional warrior roles (no more battles). To maintain them in the social hierarchy, they were given salaries. Option A is wrong (rulers didn't want instability from samurais). Option B: gratitude isn't the main reason. Option C: the motive wasn't just for warrior work as warfare declined. So D is correct.

China's imperial bureaucracy was consolidated via the civil service examination system, which selected officials based on merit (exams on Confucian classics). Option A: artistry isn't related to bureaucracy. Option B: land to military is not the main way. Option D: selling bureaucracy rights (like in some periods but not the main form; the exam system was the primary legitimate method). So C is correct.

Religious buildings (like temples, churches) helped rulers show a connection to religious authorities (legitimizing via divine approval) and display wealth/power. Option A: says they didn't help, which is wrong. Option C: not about ruler's religious knowledge. Option D: lifestyle imitation isn't the role of religious buildings. So B is correct.

Answer:

D. Samurais lost their traditional roles as warriors as a consequence of the unification of Japan.
