C. Burial tombs were incomplete without bronze items.

E. The Shang dynasty was fairly stable, and not many wars were fought.

Explanation:

The Shang dynasty (from 16th to 11th century BC) is often referred to as the Chinese Bronze age, because of the great development of bronze objects, including elaborated and ornamented ritualistic vessels used as grave goods for the tombs of nobles.

Also, during this period, the Shang dynasty did not face many wars or conflicts, establishing a stable government in the region of the Yellow River Valley. For that reason, they could focus on the production of ritualistic objects with religious purposes.
