Answer 1

Answer: (B)

British believed that act of writing was important. Every agreement, transaction, policy decision, and investigation was written. It would be helpful in the future for further studies and debates. For this record, rooms were set up for all the administrative institutions. They thought that it would ultimately serve as proof for all the decisions taken. Specialized institutions like archives and museums were established to preserve records.
