Explanation
Answer: B - The highest political office in the Roman Republic was consul. At the beginning of the Republic, there were two consuls who shared power for one year, and only patricians (members of the aristocracy) had the potential to assume a consulship. The consuls held the majority of the powers that once belonged to the king and were the supreme military commanders during times of war.
