Correct answer
Explanation
Cuzco (also spelled Cusco) was the historical capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th century until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. It served as the administrative, religious, and military center of the empire. Lima became the capital only after the Spanish founded it in 1535, while Arequipa and Abancay were not Inca capitals.
