Explanation:

To summarize "Rome's Fight for Egypt and Kush", we need an idea that connects Rome's conflict with both Egypt and Kush. The option "Octavian defeated Cleopatra, became emperor, and then marched to Kush" covers Rome's victory over Egypt (via Cleopatra) and then its move to Kush, which is central to the topic. Other options focus on only one region (Egypt or Kush) or broader Roman ambitions, not the specific fight for both.

Answer:

Octavian defeated Cleopatra, became emperor, and then marched to Kush.
