Final answer:

After Julius Caesar's death, a civil war developed in Rome, which is the event occurring afterwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the death of Julius Caesar, Rome descended into a period of turmoil and power struggles, one of which was indeed a civil war. The correct option that describes an event occurring after Julius Caesar's death is: b. a civil war developed in Rome.

This civil war eventually culminated in the Battle of Philippi where the assassins Brutus and Cassius were defeated by the forces of the Second Triumvirate, which comprised of Octavian, Marc Antony, and Lepidus. Importantly, Brutus never became king of the Roman Empire, Marc Antony did not flee to Gaul post-Caesar's assassination (he actually battled Caesar's assassins), and Rome did not become a democracy; it transitioned towards an imperial form of government under Augustus (Octavian).
