Correct answer: (B) Respect for authority — Confucius stressed respect for authority, so the answer is respect for authority.
Explanation
★Confucius stressed respect for authority, so the answer is respect for authority.
★Respect flows along his ordered relationships, from child to parent and subject to ruler.
★Elders and rulers, in turn, owe care and right example to those below them.
★This mutual respect within hierarchy holds family and state together.
★Obedience to legitimate authority is therefore a core Confucian virtue.
★He did not preach a classless society or focus on owning land.
★Confucianism is an ethical system of conduct more than a religion of belief.
