Detailed explanation-1: -The division of the empire into provinces (satrapies) was completed by Darius I (reigned 522–486 bc), who established 20 satrapies with their annual tribute. The satraps, appointed by the king, normally were members of the royal family or of Persian nobility, and they held office indefinitely.
Detailed explanation-2: -Satraps were the local representatives of royal power in the Achaemenid Empire who managed the interface between state and subject.
Detailed explanation-3: -Darius eventually established himself as the sole ruler of Persia and reconquered the rebellious regions, growing the Achaemenid Empire to its greatest extent. Partly as a response to the initial challenges that he faced, Darius reorganized the empire by dividing it into satrapies, or provinces.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Persians divided their empire into 20 provinces that were managed by governors.
