I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The Tang  land reform policy strengthen the central government by allowing the peasants to own the land. This increased power for the central government due to decreased power of large landowners. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

By breaking up the localized power of large landowners and increasing revenue through more land taxes

Explanation:

Tang emperors instituted a system of land reform in which they broke up large agricultural holdings and redistributed the land to peasants. This policy strengthened the central government by weakening the power of large landowners. It also increased government revenues, since the peasants who farmed their own land would be able to pay taxes.
