The conclusion that can be drawn from the passage is b. The Byzantine Empire united church and state

Explanation:

The passage explains that the people viewed the emperor as the living form of God and Jesus Christ. The emperor was the representation of the state. God and Jesus Christ, a representation of church and their faith beliefs. By stating that they were the same, the Byzantine Empire united church and state. It does not state that the church was more important than the emperor so a could not be correct. The passage does not show whether the people rebelled from it and it also does not state whether this behavior was a response to maintain power after a struggle.
