Explanation
Answer - B - The First Triumvirate was composed of Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey.
Key Takeaway: Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus was a military and political leader of the late Roman Republic. He came from a wealthy Italian provincial background and quickly established himself in the ranks of Roman nobility. Pompey joined his rival, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and his ally (and father-in-law), Julius Caesar, in a military-political alliance known as the First Triumvirate.
After the deaths of Crassus and Julia (Pompey's wife and Caesar's daughter), Pompey and Caesar contended the leadership of the Roman state, leading to a civil war.
