The correct answer is A. Romans, Greeks, and Christians.
The Byzantine Empire emerged from the Eastern Roman Empire, and thus Roman law, governance, and culture profoundly influenced it. Additionally, Greek culture and language were dominant in the region, especially after the Hellenistic period. Christianity, which became the state religion, also significantly shaped the beliefs and practices of the Byzantine society.
