D. villages, states, countries, empires

Explanation:

This is correct sequence in the development of civilizations. Civilizations usually begin with villages. This is one of the simplest and smallest types of settlements. Eventually, villages grow a little larger, join other villages, and this becomes a state. A country is a type of union that is larger, more stable and more unified. Finally, when a country integrates more territory, it becomes an empire.
