B.

Answer :

The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC.  At the time, they were probably the largest wars that had ever taken place. By the end of the third war, after more than a hundred years and the loss of many hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides, Rome had conquered Carthage's empire, completely destroyed the city, and become the most powerful state of the Western Mediterranean.

Hope this helps. :)

The answer is C. Rome became the dominant power in the Mediterranean after defeating Carthage.
