The answer is A. Etruscans.
They were the ones who settled on the bend of the Tiber River and found
Rome. Later on Rome established a
republic but it was not democratic. The
Aristocracy enjoyed all the rights in Rome while plebeians or commoners had
little or no rights. They later revolted against the Aristocracy that resulted
in them being to hold public office and have say in society. Rome would evolve from a republic to an
empire that would have territories both in the East and the West.
