Which of the following best describes the political organization of the Maya civilization?

A. A group of small villages practicing Neolithic traditions.
B. A massive empire with many cultures under one government.
C. A league of small democratic countries that united for defense
D. A group of independent city-states with a shared culture.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: D. A group of independent city-states with a shared culture.
In operating its political organization, Mayan civilization created several rural communities that led by certain 'families' that are responsible for handling their own affairs while still conforming to a shared culture that they placed as a central regulation.

Answer 2

D. A group of independent city-states with a shared culture is correct
