Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is B, as paying tribute to the Liao Empire was one of the key ways in which the Song Empire maintained peaceful relations with their neighboring power. This involved offering gifts, such as silk, tea, and silver, to the Liao ruler as a symbol of respect and submission. This was seen as a way of avoiding conflict and ensuring stability on the borders between the two empires. The other options (A, C, and D) are not supported by historical evidence as key strategies used by the Song Empire to maintain peaceful relations with the Liao.
