Explanation
Answer - B - The Angkor rulers of Cambodia were aggressive with their military.
Key Takeaway: Cambodia’s Angkor rulers were extremely aggressive with their military. After winning a long civil war, Suryavarman I turned his focus eastward. Consequently, he ruled over what are now Laos and Thailand, as well as much of the Malay Peninsula. This period, during which Angkor Wat was constructed, is considered the apex of Khmer civilization. The kingdom became a great empire and the temples of Angkor are considered to be an archeological treasure.
