What brought Diocletian to realize that a division was necessary was that the empire was too large to be ruled by one person only. The correct answer is D. Diocletian was a Roman emperor who made this unique move in the history of leadership at the time, and that was to split his already huge empire into four parts. These four parts were to be ruled by four "emperors," which was the beginning of "tetrarchy," meaning the rule of four.
