Answer:

Correct answer is B. He legalized Christianity and changed the capital.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B is correct because he legalized Christianity with the Edict of Milan in 313 and also created new capital, named Constantinople after him.

C is not correct as he changed the system and ruled as a sole ruler.

D is not correct as he was a part of the council of four, but decided the full authority in the country after defeating Licinius.
