A. It conveyed the elevated and learned status of the owner of the house.

Explanation:

The rediscovered Alexander Mosaic on October 24, 1831, is a Roman mosaic floor originating from the House of the Faun dating from around 150 BC and is a highly luxurious ornament located in Pompeii, Italy, so it was a coveted item among the aristocrats of the Roman republic because it conveyed the high and learned status of the homeowner.
