Answer 1

D. increased unemployment for the plebeians​

Step-by-step explanation:

The large amount of available slave labor in ancient Rome resulted in increased unemployment for the plebeians (common people). Slaves were used extensively to perform various tasks, including agricultural work and other labor-intensive jobs, which led to the displacement of many free Roman workers, contributing to a rise in unemployment among the lower classes.
