B. he was a declared war hero who conquered gaul, loved by his soldiers, and began giving food and land to the poor

Explanation:

Julius Ceasar wanted to be loved by his people. He wanted that a lot. He increased the grain dole reformed land bills and gave land to the poor for very low prices or sometimes even for free. He financed gladiator battles and was a war hero. Overall he did many good things for the poor and his soldiers and they loved him.
