Marquise Little · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter A.

Explanation: After having their forces slaughtered by the Romans, the leaders of the Carthaginian empire decided to reinforce their war contingent by promoting the mining of the Iberian Peninsula. Concerned about the relentless military reaction of the Carthaginians, the Romans attempted to send a diplomatic mission that should claim to limit the influence of the Carthaginians in that region. By Carthage's refusal, the Romans were ready to battle.
