Answer:
The correct answer is B. The Edict of Milan meant that wherever the Roman Empire expanded, Christianity would go there also.
Explanation:
The Edict of Milan was an agreement reached in 313 by the Roman emperors Constantine and Licinius at a meeting in Milan, proclaiming religious tolerance in the Roman Empire. The Edict of Milan was an important step towards the conversion of Christianity into the official religion of the empire.
The Edict affirmed that freedom of religion was introduced in the Roman Empire. It stated that the Roman citizens were free to choose their religion and could freely confess it without hindrance. It therefore protected non-Christian religions. Christianity no longer needed that protection after the Edict of Nicomedia, two years earlier.
This decree formally ratified the end of the Christian persecutions, which ended in Western Europe in 305 or 306 and in the Eastern Empire in 311. The initiative for this ratification came from Licinius. It would later be attributed to Constantine the Great, who had emerged victorious in their battles and had signed the edict in 312.

In the excerpt, Thomas Paine is pointing out at the fact that peaceful means have been ineffective, or are likely to be ineffective, in convincing the British King, to grant the American colonies independence.
He is using a metaphor to illustrate what would happen if the American leaders continued to ask for independence through peaceful ways: the King would practically become flattered, instead of convinced, and double down on repression.
For this reason, Thomas Paine is, in a elegant way, advocating for the use of force in order to obtain the goal: independence.
