The correct answer is B) From an Eastern European tribe that invaded the Roman Empire in the 5th century.

The term "Goth" originated from an Eastern European tribe that invaded the Roman Empire in the 5th century.

People like the Ostrogoths and Visigoths were part of these Eastern Germany territories tribes. King Ermarnaric conquest many territories to expand Goths dominion in the region.
