Alternative A

Explanation:

The Inca empire was called Tahuantinsuyu which means "Land of the Four Quarters" and each of the four provinces was governed by a leader named Apu. The reason for this division was to facilitate the control and administration of the empire. To govern a large territory they needed fast communication so they created roads to improve the way of messengers through the empire, reducing the time for valuable messages to be delivered to the leaders within a few days.
