Question

what trait was most important to genghis khan when promoting generals? skill in battle being a member of his family having great wealth mercy towards civilians

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze Genghis Khan's approach to promoting generals. Genghis Khan valued military prowess and ability in battle. Family ties were not the primary criterion (he promoted non - family members with talent), wealth was irrelevant for military leadership in his context, and his campaigns were not known for mercy towards civilians (often involving conquest and subjugation). So the most important trait was skill in battle.

Answer:

A. skill in battle
