.
Explanation:
Option C is not a reason as Caesar was killed in 44 BC, while the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD. There is a gap of over 500 years.
A was a reason as Germanic tribes were constantly pressuring the Empire, which eventually collapsed under their pressure.

Like many of the provisions in the Bill of Rights, the Eight Amendment explicitly forbade certain practices that England had inflicted upon the colonies (and other nations had inflicted upon their subjects). It was felt by the newly-independent states that, if they agreed to concede some of their sovereign power to a new central government, assurances were needed to prevent the central government from becoming too powerful or imposing such things upon their citizens in the future.
Specifically, the Eight Amendment addressed excessive bail and unreasonable fines, as well as cruel or unusual punishment, because such things had, in fact, been imposed by the former mother-country, and wanted to make clear that no future Federal government would attempt to do the same to them.

From that moment on, India entered the orbit of the great empires of time; its capital, situated in Pataliputra or Magadha, was for many decades the center of a Greek embassy which Ambassador Magastenio illustrated, and whose information is precious, though secondhand.
