Solution

The correct option is B Caesar was murdered because he abolished The Republic of Rome.
When Crassus died, Caesar and Pompey had a power struggle, and Caesar murdered Pompey. Caesar then went on to conquer Egypt and fell in love with Queen Cleopatra. Following this, he abolished the Republic of Rome and made himself the dictator of Rome. His assassinators used this as an excuse to murder him.
