Solution

The correct option is B Augustus
Octavian became the de facto monarch with support from the Senate in 27 BCE. The Senate also bestowed upon him the title of Augustus. His rule brought a new wave of development to Rome. After a long period of civil war, it again prospered in all aspects. Rome also observed architectural development in the form of buildings, temples, gymnasia, aqueducts, baths, and markets in his time.
