The correct answer is D) He maintained the Triple Alliance while keeping Tenochtitlan dominant.

The Triple Alliance was an alliance of three Nahua city-states - Mexico-Tenochtitlan -, Texcoco and Tlacopan. Moctezuma I, was an Aztec emperor and the fifth king of Tenochtitlan. With the Triple Alliance the initial intent was to have an alliance of three self-governed states, but thankfully yo Moctezuma, Tenochtitlan became the dominant and all the Alliance was ruled from Tenochtitlan and the others had taken subsidiary roles - Texcoco retained prominence of law, engineering and arts, there are no records of Tlacopan’s specialties -.
