The correct answer is A) Natural disasters were seen as a sign that the current leaders had lost the favor of the gods.

Natural disasters were linked with the mandate of heaven in that natural disasters were seen as a sign that the current leaders had lost the favor of the gods.

In ancient times, people believed that bad things were an omen. If something bad happened, people thought the gods were displeased. Leaders considered that if natural disasters happened, such as floodings or earthquakes, meant that the rulers had lost the favor of the gods and they should be doing things such as sacrifices in order to please the gods.
