Answer 1

B. he was a declared war hero who conquered gaul, loved by his soldiers, and began giving food and land to the poor

Step-by-step explanation:

He was loved by them even though he was a patrician. He reformed the way that the food is gathered and distributed to the population. He made land extremely cheap and in some cases even free for those who would want to work on the fields. He hosted the best gladiator fights and since that was the main social activity of the people they loved him for that too.
