Answer:

Option: C. Pliny the Younger

Explanation:

The cities Pompeii and Herculaneum were part of the Roman Empire until its destruction by the Volcano eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. After volcano eruption, both the Roman cities remain as abandon for almost as many years until it was founded (Pompeii) after excavation by the architect Domenico Fontana in the 16th century (1748).

The destruction and volcano explosion comes from a report by Pliny the Younger, who was staying in the Bay of Naples when Mt. Vesuvius exploded. According to Pliny the Younger, the eruption lasted 18 hours which buried Pompeii and Herculaneum with ash, volcano rocks, and other volcanic materials and killing thousands of people.
