Solution

The correct option is B Roman Governor
King Herod was accused of selling the Jewish heritage to the Romans. Herod used secret police to monitor the feelings of the general public. His son, Archelaus was equally brutal in using his power in Jerusalem. The Romans eventually replaced him with Pontius Pilate, a Roman Governor. He was the one that sentenced Jesus to be crucified.
