which factor contributed to the collapse of both the roman empire and the han dynasty?
a. severe drought led to population decline and migration.
b. they became too large to rule effectively.
c. an overfocus on trade and commerce led to political collapse from within.
d. as citizens turned more toward religious pursuits, their military forces suffered.

Explanation:

The Roman Empire and the Han dynasty both expanded greatly. As they grew larger, it became increasingly difficult to manage all regions effectively, including issues like communication, governance, and resource - distribution. This administrative challenge was a significant factor in their decline. Drought was not a common primary cause for both; over - focus on trade was not the main reason; and a shift to religious pursuits affecting the military was not a shared cause.

Answer:

B. They became too large to rule effectively.
