d. He claimed to be a descendant of the god Marduk

Answer 1

The answer to this question is: B.He tore down the defensive walls of major cities and appointed his own sons as rulers.
By doing this, he basically divided his kingdom into several smaller ones in the hopes that all of his Sons will be able to work together and could put more of their time and focus in handling the operation in smaller scale.
