Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The expansion of Rome in Italy encompasses a number of conflicts in which Rome developed from being a small Italian city-state to command fully the Italian peninsula. The expansion causes were more confusing ad puzzled than simply land wars and also related to the frequency of warfare in the early period of growth of Rome.

The roman expansion became root for Punic wars, it brought great wealth from conquered territories, provided slave labor for large farming estates and declined the Roman economy due to high cost of war but it didn't allowed Romans to buy large farming estates in order to engage them in series of devastating wars.
