Explanation:

The division of the Roman Empire into Eastern and Western halves in 395 CE led to the Eastern Roman Empire evolving into what became known as the Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Empire emerged much later, the Persian Empire predated this division, and there is no official "Catholic Empire" tied to this specific Roman split.

D. Byzantine Empire
