Verified Answer :

Qin Shi
Huang became the King when he was only 13.
Qin Shi Huang cracked down hard on rebellion with the other seven
warring states and named himself “The Frist Emperor of China”.  He raised an army and conquered the other
states taking advantage of times of weakness within those states.  He was a heartless and harsh ruler towards
those who chose to rebel against him.
After unifying China the Qin Empire faced a recurring threat from
nomadix’s.  Qin ordered the construction
of a defensive wall known now as the Great Wall of China by the use of slaves
and criminals.  Thousands of these
workers would die in the process.  He
also ordered the construction of a canal, the Lingqu, which linked the Yangtze
and Pearl River.  Therefore I believe (b)
would be your correct answer.
