Answer 1

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS C

Answer 2

c) They led to the region’s political decline and weakness.

Explanation:

• The downfall of the "Roman Empire" in the West represented the decline of the "Roman Empire" wherein the Empire did not enforce its domination & its vast territory was split into several succeeding polities.
• The Roman Empire lost its strengths which had enabled it to exercise "effective control" over the Western provinces
• Modern historians raised factors like the efficiency and number of the Army, the "health" & numbers of the roman citizens, the economic ability, the skill of the emperors, the inner struggles for "power", the religious changes in the period & the efficiency of civil administration
• The western Roman empire experienced a few serious civil wars that led to the collapse of the Roman empire
