Answer:

I notice that you didn't give any options, but no worries, I got your back. The options that should've been listed are: A: The Byzantine government clearly placed the emperor as the highest religious authority, while the Roman government kept political and religious authority more separate.

B: By the fourth century, the western Roman Empire was much wealthier than the Byzantine Empire.

C: The western Roman Empire saw much civil unrest over the issue of Christian icons, while it was uncontroversial in the Byzantine Empire.

D: The Byzantine church in the East claimed authority for all Christians while the church in the West organized the church in a more federal form.

The correct answer is A
