Answer:
The correct answer is B, <em>they struggled for control of the Middle East</em>.
Explanation:
The history of the relationship between the Ottomans and Safavids is mainly characterized by their conflicts for the control of different regions of the Middle East. All the other options don't correctly describe this history.
However, because both societies were Muslim according to Islam they couldn't war against each other unless it was for religious reasons.
Thus in the early 1500s Selim I, sultan of the Ottoman Empire consulted his scholars and decided that the Shah Ismail of the Safavids preached heresies against Islam. He then persecuted internal supporters of the Safavids which intensified the rivalry between the two empires.
The conflict between Ottomans and Safavids was fought also through trade embargoes in the 1500s. Ottomans imposed trade embargoes against the Safavids but they only worked until the early 1600s. In the 18th century, they would start to see themselves all parts of the same faith but still fearing each other.
Corrupt leaders made the democracy of Rome compromise itself and led to monarchy and then sometimes to ruin
Explanation:
The Democracy of Rome had many intricacies that excluded a number of people from ever participating and made it in a way an exclusive group that could ever hope to hold political power.
This made it easier for the government to be very corrupt and they had very little accountability.
The people became dissatisfied and thus many times supported the foundation of monarchy or even found the city in state of civil war multiple times in centuries.
