Option A has the best meanings for the word "Simple" presented in the paragraph, as this word takes on the meaning of "modest" and "straightforward."
We can arrive at this answer because:
The text was written by a father, who wants to show his son how much the regions he knows have changed over time.
First, he informs his son that his homeland is no longer as "simple" as it once was.
In this case, the father claims that the son's birthplace does not represent the cozy, modest and safe place he knew because everything has changed.
He also uses the word "simple" to show how much Cesar changed Rome, which was once a political, straightforward, and objective place, but lost all those characteristics and became a mess.
In this case, we can say that the word "simple" was used to promote feelings of modesty and formality.
