the justice system was set up to mimic the byzantine system.
the civil service exam to fill government positions came from the byzantines.
the authoritarian role of the tsar was based on the ruler of the byzantines.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Kiev's legal code was indeed based on Byzantine law, reflecting Byzantine influence on Kiev's government.
• Option 2: Kiev's justice system did not primarily mimic the Byzantine system in a defining way for its government's Byzantine influence.
• Option 3: Civil service exams for government positions were not a Byzantine import to Kiev.
• Option 4: The authoritarian role of the tsar (later development) was not directly based on Byzantine rulers' role in the context of Kiev's government's Byzantine influence.

Answer:

D. the authoritarian role of the tsar was based on the ruler of the Byzantines. (Note: Wait, correction. Actually, the correct answer is the option about the authoritarian role? No, re - checking: The correct answer is the option where the authoritarian role of the tsar was based on Byzantine rulers? Wait, no, the correct answer is the option "the authoritarian role of the tsar was based on the ruler of the Byzantines" is incorrect. Wait, the correct answer is the option "the legal code was created on the basis of Byzantine law" is incorrect? No, let's re - evaluate. The correct answer is the option "the authoritarian role of the tsar was based on the ruler of the Byzantines" is correct? Wait, no, the correct answer is D? Wait, no, the correct answer is the option with the authoritarian role? Wait, actually, the correct answer is the option "the authoritarian role of the tsar was based on the ruler of the Byzantines" because the Byzantine emperor's role influenced the development of the tsar's authoritarian role in Russian (Kiev - Rus' and later) governance. The other options: legal code - Kiev's legal code was based on Slavic customs and Byzantine law, but the key Byzantine influence on government structure was the imperial (authoritarian) model. So the correct answer is D. the authoritarian role of the tsar was based on the ruler of the Byzantines.
