Answer: C. It allowed people to follow many different religions

Explanation: The religion of the Roman Empire in the BC centuries was polytheistic with the worship of many different gods. Basically, there were various influences and the legacies of other former empires and their polytheistic pantheons in combination with the Roman deities. It was a trend that the religions concerned in the BC period. Polytheistic religions in the Roman Empire had a great momentum and were in development in the BC centuries, although they were tolerant towards monotheistic religions. In Israel, which was part of the Roman Empire, the Jews were allowed to worship one God, even Second Jewish Temple built by Herod, was built during the Roman rule in Palestine.
