Answer:
These statements show a similarity in the way these cultures (2) justified the right to rule.
Explanation:
The Chinese applied the idea of the Mandate of Heaven which dictates that heaven or god himself gave the right for the king to rule over the people. Similarly, The French's belief in the divine rights of kings also shows the same belief in god's direct 'permission' or ordination for the king to have the absolute right to rule.
The two statements given show a similarity in how the two nations based their belief in the king's right to rule. By giving the divine right to rule or even "mandate of heaven", the two cultures show a similarity in the way they justify the king's right to rule.
Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
