D Correct answer
Explanation

The Qin Dynasty, led by Qin Shi Huang, adopted the strict philosophy of Legalism as its state ideology. Because Legalism conflicted with Confucian ideas, the Qin government actively persecuted Confucian scholars and burned their books. Therefore, strengthening the role of Confucian scholars was not an accomplishment of the Qin.
