A. It saw a significant rise in global political equality and human rights.

Explanation:

Despite development imbalances between countries and regions of the world, we can say that our modern era is more egalitarian and democratic than it was before the 1780s. Human rights, civic freedoms, free elections of authorities and a free press are rights millions of people in the world enjoy, all those rights are enshrined in national constitutions, violations of human rights and freedoms are denounced and critized in the global media and are a motive of concern worldwide.

Ancient history refers to the time period beginning with the first records in writing, approximately 3600 BCE. It ends with the fall of several significant empires, such as the Western Roman Empire in the Mediterranean, the Han Dynasty in China, and the Gupta Empire in India, collectively around 500 CE.

The Bronze Age is the time period in which humans around the world began to use bronzeas a major metal in tools. It is generally accepted as starting around 3600 BCE and ending with the advent of iron in 1000 BCE.
