If you look at a map you can see that Byzantium was a great location for a strong city. It controlled both the land and sea routs and therefore collected revenues from the traders that used the city both from the east and the west. It also had military advantages by lad, sea and river. Considering this, it does not have anything to do with the holiness of the city. So yes, "D." is the answer.
