To find the answer to this question, we need to understand what the First Punic War was and its outcome. The First Punic War was a conflict between Rome and Carthage, two powerful civilizations in the ancient Mediterranean. One of the key objectives of the war for Rome was to gain control of Sicily, a strategic island located between Italy and North Africa.

To confirm which island Rome gained control of as a result of the First Punic War, we can eliminate options B and C, as Corsica and Mediterranean are not the correct answers. Now, we are left with options A and D.

To determine the correct answer between options A and D, we need to recall historical knowledge or consult a reliable source. In this case, the answer is A: Sicily. Rome successfully captured Sicily from Carthage, gaining control over the island after their victory in the First Punic War.
