Solution

The correct option is D Patricians
The Patricians, or the landlords, possessed a lot of political power in the Roman Empire. They formed an institution called the Senate which advised the kings of the empire. So most of the control of the empire was in the hands of the Patricians. These landlords had the Plebeians under them. The plebeians had no political rights and had to accept the status of slaves.
