Answer:

C. The crowd begins to accept the argument that the conspirators were obligated to murder Caesar.

(Correct on the Edge exam.)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a tricky question, and the answer is not A. The question is asking for the immediate effect, not the effect in the long run. When Brutus gives his speech about why he killed Caesar, it is enough to gain the crowd's support at first. Lines like, "Live, Brutus, live, live!" and "Shall be crowned in Brutus," are things that the crowd said right after Brutus had finished his speech. The people are clearly expressing support in these lines.

Got it correct on the Edge exam, trust me.
