Answer 1

If you are using FLVS and you don't understand this, then look at the 1.07 Introduction.

It says:
"The Byzantine Empire was supreme for many years... During the reign of Justinian I, the Byzantine Empire reached the height of its power. After Justinian's death, however, the empire began a gradual decline that lasted for nearly 900 years."

Look at:
"During the reign of Justinian I, the empire reached the height of its power," and it was all because of who? Belisarius. If it wasn't for his "exploits," or what I consider to be killing sprees, under the rule of Justinian I, the Byzantine empire wouldn't have lasted as long as it did.

The answer is
D) long-term dominance of the Byzantine Empire.
