The correct answer is C. Rome wanted to expand its empire and Carthage threatened to control the Mediterranean. Sicily was a cultural and trading melting pot and everyone met there and traded. Rome wanted to control it but it was under rule by Carthage. Naturaly, they went to war and became mortal enemies.
