Which statement best describes a cause of class conflict in the Roman Republic?
In the Roman Republic, citizens elected representatives to rule on their behalf.
In ancient Rome, citizens from all social classes could vote on rules and laws.
Patricians were only a small percentage of the population, but they held all the power.
Plebeians, who were the commoners, were farmers, shopkeepers, soldiers, and laborers.

Patricians were only a small percentage of the population, but they held all the power.

Explanation:

This answer choice best explains class divide by showing how the patricians held most of the power. This creates class conflict as the plebeians feel that they deserve more power and the aristocrats refuse to give up any power.

A is wrong, this would be not be a reason for class divide as all the classes in this scenario would have the same power.

B This suggests class equality if all the social classes could vote equally so its wrong.

D is wrong, it is a statement and more of an effect of class conflict instead of a cause.
