Confucius believed that if people acted according to the five relationships, order and harmony would come to society. This means that if individuals in these relationships, such as ruler and subject, acted according to their prescribed roles and treated each other with respect and reverence, society as a whole would benefit. Confucius emphasized the importance of obedience, loyalty, and filial piety in these relationships, and believed that if they were upheld, social order would be maintained. So the correct answer is "Order and harmony would come to society."
