Final answer:

Rome first conquered the Etruria region, then went on to challenge Carthage in the Punic Wars. Hence the correct answer is option B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Rome first conquered the Etruria region after taking over the Italian peninsula. The Etruscans, who had gained control of much of north and central Italy, were eventually assimilated into the Roman Empire. After consolidating control over Italy, Rome then challenged the other major power in the region, Carthage, leading to a series of wars called the Punic Wars. During the First Punic War, Rome annexed the island of Sicily and defeated Carthage.

Hence the correct answer is option B and C
