Explanation:

Dividing an empire into provinces is an effective governance - related strategy that could contribute to its success and accomplishments. This administrative division helps in better management, resource - distribution, and control, which likely aided the Inca in their achievements. Other options like heavy tribute demands, routine military tribute - collection, and language - forcing might have caused resistance rather than being positive factors for overall accomplishments.

A. They divided their empire into four provinces so it would be easier to govern.
