Question

______ began with nobunaga and hideyoshi and was restored by tokugawa rulers.

A. preserving ancient manuscripts
B. constructio nof sacred temples
C. central government authority
D. confucianism

Answer 1

I'd go with (C) central government authority, which under the Tokugawa would become the Tokugawa shogunate. Nobunaga's death ended his own bid at uniting Japan under one authority.

The other answers don't make much sense, or are far less important than that one. During the Sengoku Period, there wasn't much of a driving interest in building sacred temples by Nobunaga or Tokugawa Ieyasu. In Nobunaga's case, he burned a temple down to secure his own position against those he thought would be a threat. And Confucianism didn't begin with either Nobunaga or Tokugawa.
