This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

What group was believed to possess a creative energy called Shakti ?

1. the Kshatriyas

2. children

3. women

4. the Sudras

3. women

Explanation:

The word shakti applies to diverse ideas, and it´s usually defined as the dynamic energy in charge of creation, preservation, and destruction of the universe. Shakti is recognized as female energy because its creation capacity relates to mothers at birth, and also refers to goddesses as manifestations of this kind of energy, whether they embody positive or negative aspects of it.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
