Answer: a. Confucius
Explanation:
According to Confucius, there exists a sort of hierarchy in society that defines how individuals should relate with one another.
There are the Superior people like the Rulers, Fathers, Husbands and Older brothers and these people have to take care of their Inferiors such as Subjects, children, Wives and younger brothers. The inferiors in their own right should show obedience and loyalty to their superiors.
Confucius believed that following these relationship standards would ensure that there was no breakdown in societal order.
