Answer:

E. Through the travels of his followers on Roman roads

Step-by-step explanation:

During the early Roman Empire, Jesus' teachings were considered illegal. His religion, Christianity, was considered a threat by the ruling force of Rome. Therefore, we can count out A, C and D. The reason Jesus' teaching caught on so quickly were because they ften went against the wealthy and the ruling class. Poor people living in Rome liked the idea that they would be able to go to Heaven, and that their oppressors were bad people. They were more likely to convert to Christianity. Many poor people were also merchants, who would be travelling along roads. When they met othermerchants, they wuld spread the word of Jesus, which is why the correct answer is E. Hope this helps, and ask if you need any clarification!
