Good choices:

E.  because it preserved the records of the Han dynasty

Explanation:

The invention of paper in the Han dynasty ocurred sometime around 140-87 BCE.  In 105 AD, an eunuch called Cai Lun invented paper of great quality.  From the point of view of the imperial court and need, this object allowed to preserve imperial records in a better way. This is the main value of it. Literacy and education were reserved for the nobility and for the Confucian scholars, and later for the Buddhist monks, not necessarily for the common man.
