Answer:

B. It suffered from instability and civil war.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Goths, one of the Germanic tribes, had invaded the Roman empire on and off since 238. ... Soon after, starvation, high taxes, hatred from the Roman population, and governmental corruption turned the Goths against the Empire. The Goths rebelled and began looting and pillaging throughout the eastern Balkans.
