Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the Inca conquered new areas, they often moved part of the conquered peoples to a different region of the empire in order to break up any potential resistance and prevent the formation of regional power bases. This method of integrating conquered peoples into the empire was known as "mitma" and helped to maintain the Incas' control over their vast territory. Killing all the native peoples (A) or enslaving them (B) would have been counterproductive as it would have led to even more resistance and rebellion. Moving all the male population (D) would not have been an effective strategy as it would have left the remaining population without a significant workforce.
