Hello!

The answer is d. Cicero: Led campaign against pirates in the Mediterranean

Explanation:

Piracy in the Mediterranean:

The current threat of piracy in the Mediterranean sea has been a threat since ancient times. The very first pirates were a coalition of different ethnicities who referred to themselves as the Sea People. Most notorious of the Mediterranean pirates are said to be the Cilicians, who gained power as the Seleucid Empire began to fall to Rome. When the piracy problem aggravated, Rome sent Marcus Antonius in 103 BCE and Publius Servilius Vatia in 78-74 BCE. But the piracy problem continued. In 67 BCE, Pompey the Great defeated the Cilician pirates by dividing the Mediterranean in 13 different districts and sending a fleet each to combat the pirates.
