Question

which practice most directly showed confucian influence on han administration?
training civil servants through education and exams
expanding trade by building maritime fleets
outlawing private ownership of farmland
rotating emperors every five years by lottery

Explanation:

Confucianism emphasized education and merit - based recruitment for governance. The Han dynasty's practice of training civil servants through education and exams (like the imperial examination system's early form) was a direct reflection of Confucian ideas about selecting officials based on knowledge and virtue. Expanding trade via maritime fleets is related to commerce, not Confucian admin. Outlawing private farmland ownership is an economic policy not tied to Confucian admin. Rotating emperors every five years by lottery is not a Han or Confucian practice.

Answer:

A. Training civil servants through education and exams
