The correct choice is:
- Constantine embraced Christianity. —> Christianity expanded in Rome.
Brief explanation: Constantine’s conversion and the Edict of Milan (313 AD) legalized and favored Christianity, leading to its rapid growth and official acceptance. The other options are false because persecution often strengthened Christianity rather than causing decline, Roman polytheism opposed (not boosted) Christianity, and Constantine’s rise ended many persecutions rather than causing them.
