The correct answer is A. The division ultimately weakened the empire and led to its decline.
Explanation
By the year 285 a. C. The emperor Diocletian decided to divide the Roman Empire into two halves. The eastern part would have its capital in the city of Byzantium (later Constantinople) from where it would be governed and the western part would continue to be governed from Rome. After this division the Roman Empire was weakened by internal causes such as the corruption of its rulers and the adoption of Christianity as the official religion; and external causes such as confrontations against Germanic tribes and the loss against the Barbarians in the East. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The division ultimately weakened the empire and led to its decline.
