Answer 1

@camerondoherty I'm pretty sure it's C. but I'm not sure...can you help?

Answer 2

Why do you think its C?

Answer 3

Well because I know that the Romans practiced polytheist-ism

Answer 4

Ok, lets start off with A.
It can't be A because it doesn't even make sense. It wasn't a reason.
Was it B?
No, Romans sacrificed animals as well, it wasn't a problem between the two.
Could it be C?
No, not really.
They didn't decline taxes just because the Romans worshiped many Gods.
Maybe D?
Let's see
Everyone in the Roman empire had to believe that the emporer was a God. The Christians believed only in One God.
So did they reject the worship of the Roman Emporer as God? Absoulutely.
